1997 850 T5 - Brake Noise 850 1997

Hi again,

I have one more issue I would like your opinion on. This has to do with brake noise. When I first bought the car a couple of months ago, the weather was dry, and didn't get to drive it much in the rain. But then one day I took it to a car wash, and got the brakes real wet, and I know that they can squeal some times when real wet until they dry, but this was different. When I was slowing down from let's say 15mph to 0mph, the front left brakes made a creaking/squeak type sound, two quick noises then a slight pause, and it did this with the rotation of the tire as the brakes were pressed. I figured the brakes were real wet or something. This sound appeared a couple more times when it was raining out, although it did it a couple other times when it was dry out, although it had been raining earlier that day. This sound only appears to be coming from the front left brakes. And it doesn't happen all the time, and only when it has been raining.

This noise appeared the same day after I had the spring seat replaced and the alingment was kocked out, so I was a bit stressed. ")

Has anyone else experienced this brake noise when raining out?

Thank you,

Michael
