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-

QUOTE what if the dust shields are liek in the way of teh rotors' "path"???? what should one do about it???.... If the dust shields are rubbing on the rotors, simply bend them back just enough so there is no contact. |
