#31726, "Grinding noise when braking"


          

Had my pads, rotors, and calipers replaced over the summer. Been braking fine until recently I've been getting this scraping/grinding noise coming from the front of the car when applying the brakes. It got a lot worse today, I can hear it the loudest when I'm driving real slow, then braking.

What could be the cause of this?

check for stuck calipers, when everything got put back together the caliper slide pins probably didn't get relubed and froze up causing the caliper to hang up and burn up your inside pad on one or both calipers. I have seen this WAY too often.

if this is the case you'll probably need new pads and rotors again.

I would agree. I had a similar problem on my Bronco and the front driver side caliper had froze up.

It is the path of least resistance that makes rivers and men crooked

Try working at an auto parts store, this was a daily problem
