So I've been hearing some metal on metal grinding while braking AND while in motion, I figured it was brake pads grinding into the rotors so I put some new rotors and pads on. While the old rotors were warped, even after i put the new ones on the sound is still there if not worse after spinning the wheel while the car was on jacks. could a wheel bearing or caliper be the culprit? Any knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

He has a GT so he has discs.


Removing the rear rotors can be a pain and sometimes the ebrake shoes will grip onto the inside of the rotor hat (even when the ebrake is disengaged). You have to rotate the adjustment screw through a hole on the rotor hat. When trying to pull my rotors off (and them refusing to come off) I more than likely stretched the retaining springs that hold the shoe to the face of the dust shield, which in turn made them stick out a bit and rub up against the rotor.

that was the first time I had touched brakes. It was a learning experience.
