Hi, I got a 2013 Mazda CX-5. 195,000km, which is experiencing some creaking sound on the lower driver's side wheel. i did a wheel test and check if something is not tight and it all seems fine. Here are some observations that i have. 1. i hear it a bit when driving on uneven roads. 2...

Got it. did not notice that. it seems i have to grease under the hardware plate as well if i am reading it correctly.

Thanks everyone, I will try to replace the rubber and see how it goes. Can't just imagine what is making the sound. I do noticed when I put the lube last time that the caliper does not move back easily. It does after adding more lube.

I was using the sil glyde for the caliper pins and permatex copper on the pads. Just weird that it's only happening on one side.
