Hey whats up everybody.....
About a couple weeks ago my brakes started squealing... I figured it was the wear sensor tellin me a change was due soon, then I started hearing some rubbing that sounded like the calipers were runnin a little close to the rotors so I changed the pads out.... After I got the old pads off... they werent badly worn... looked a bit glazed though.. so I put in new ones.... Well... My car is still squealing/squeaking when I brake and I hear the rubbing/grinding noise when I drive.... The noise is especially loud when I turn right..... I have changed brakes quite a bit over the years, and it has always been a simple task for me... but this is new.... My rotors are fine, so I dont think anythig is rubing on them badly... but this noise is really concerning me.... could anyone tell me what else besides worn pads and possible wheel alignment problems would cause this noise?? I'd appreciate any responses..... -------------------- -M-

Yea... its definitely not a cv boot or joint.... I checked them out when I changed the pads.... The rotors seemed fine so I didnt get them re surfaced.... The pads came with shims... and I replaced all 4.....
I didnt check the dust shields though.... I have this friday off.. I am going to go through everything again.... the noise that is really concerning me is the sound of rubbing.... especially when i make a right turn.... not hard core grinding.. but enough to hear it..... its strange, cuz it all sounds like my pads are wearing down.. but they are all brand new.... Thanks for all the info guys... I really appreciate the help... -------------------- -M-
