Anybody ever get a 'groan' out of one side of the plane when applying brakes. I've occasionally heard them on big jetliners, but I've had one almost from the start on the left side, even after replacing a brake pad last winter (the old one had iced up and broken off).
My pal, Brad, says he's heard it can be caused by some vibration of the brake line and the solution is to secure them more, but I've already got the three rings of electrical tape in there and before I go to the hassle of pulling farings off, I figure I can compare notes.
The thing is, i get it even when lightly apply the brake (tho' obviously not as loudly). Very weird.
