SOURCE: Brakes

I would take it to the dealer because of unusual brake pad wear.brake pads under normal wear are not covered usually.But if the outside pad wore down to metal and the inside is ok that is a caliper sticking causing a drag of the outer pad to the rotor.

SOURCE: I am replacing the brake pads on my Kia 2007

It is hard to tell until inspect front and rear. I would buy front and rear parts to get parts in hand ready. Usually, when change the pad, the rotor (brake disc) needs to be resurfaced, if you see the concentric lines. I used to buy rotors and change together with the pads. Then take the old rotors out for resurfacing ($15 each) so they can be in the next pad change. Ceramic pads with shims ate better.

SOURCE: I just had the front brake pads replaced and the

first port of call is to return to the guy who said all was ok on the rear brakes of a sorento there are brake pads for your service/foot brake, but the handbrake works on a sepperate system. there are brake shoes within the rear brake discs which are solely for the parking brake... have these been overtightened ar just full of dust, my advice is to take it back, if no joy then try someone who knows about this system
any advice i can help with then ask.

SOURCE: brakes pulsing on a 2005

The pulse is due to thickness variation of the rotors,have to have them machined to even 'em back up.Getting hard to find a shop that will do that,because replacement rotors are so cheap,but it's better to get 'em machined .They will stay true longer

2014 Chevy Cruze. The cost of front brakes and rotors please?

About Brake Pad Replacement Please note: Pricing shown is for either front brakes or rear brakes. Made of ceramic, organic or metallic material, brake pads squeeze against the brake disc rotors to slow the vehicle down. Every time you apply the brakes, the pads wear down a tiny bit. Eventually a wear indicator starts squeaking to tell you it's time to replace the brake pads. It's always better to replace the pads before they start squeaking, to avoid damaging the brake rotors. A mechanic can check brake pad thickness during a tire rotation or other service. The number of miles you can go before replacing the brake pads really depends on your driving style.

Brakes make a whistle noise when applied and sometimes a low grown or grinding when coming to a slow stop or start.

A grinding or rumbling noise can also be symptoms of a wheel bearing or constant velocity joint in a driveshaft. A worn wheel bearing can also cause a 'whistling' sound (as can a worn CV joint).

A grinding noise with brakes is either worn pads causing metal to metal contact on the brake disk/rotor, or the brake backing plate catching on a spinning rotor ... or a loose/missing anti squeal brake shim (they stop the pads from rattling and vibrating).

However, as you say a mechanic has looked at the brakes and can't find anything wrong .. I think I would begin to suspect a wheel bearing or constant velocity joint on the driveshaft (front wheel drive cars).

Hi i recently changed brakes of my toyota raum 2003. The problem is now whenever i apply brakes there is a terrible noise from the brakes. My mechanic has even changed left side caliper but no change the...

On some of the Toyotas, the brake pad info that some auto parts places have on file is incorrect. The pads are just slightly too big and the are touching the un-worn part of the rotor, making a noise that almost mimics the grinding sound like when a pad is completely worn to the metal/rivets. Sometimes it even causes noise when the brakes are not being applied. This is often visible on the rotor- the ridge where the original pad ended, is now a clean bump instead of a ridge that is very rusty.
In some cases, this noise will clear itself as the rotor clears and the pad wears. It's always possible that the pads that were changed were 'cheapies' that were a bit undersized. The only solutions in that case are get the same kind again, or, turn or replace the rotors.

WHy dose my brake pedal push back and make a grinding noise

Look through the openings in your front wheels and look at the front rotors-are they gouged up? You are probably running metal-to-metal, pads to rotors.
Chances are real good your rotors will have to be replaced along with new pads, but if you catch it early enough you might be able to have them machined, although nowadays that is hardly easy to get done and the savings usually is not as significant as it once was.

My brakes sound like they are grinding

check rear rotors and front rotors for rust buildup (flahlight helps). does the vehicle shake when you come to a hard stop? You will either need to have a front or rear or both brake job (rotors cut or replaced and new brake pads) If the vehicle is shaking when coming to a stop, its probably your front pads. If your hearing the noise from the rear its the rear pads or it you hear it from the front its the front pads. If there significant rust build up or your pads are low a brake job is recommended.

When i press on brakes i can hear a grinding noise coming from he front end, what could it be?

Brake pads are worn. That noise is the sound of the backing plate for the brake pads hitting the rotors. You will need to replace the pads and probablt the rotors. When the brakes go metal to metal like that it typically destroys the rotor.

Front brakes drag (more on left than right) while driving in rush hour stop-and-go traffic. Both rims get hot the left more than the right. Also have some steering wheel vibration and brake pedal pulsing....

Sounds like the pads are completely worn or either crystallized. The crystallized happens when the brakes get hot and cool water hits them, this will also warp the rotors. With the brakes pulsating, it may be the rotors are warped and have worn the brake pads uneven. I would have the rotors checked when buying new pads and if they are warped, buy new ones. If their not warped to bad, sometimes these can be machined until even but you never know how much metal will be left on the rotor.

When i apply my brakes on my 98 contour the front end shakes

Sounds like you have bad brake pads or rotors ..if you are not mechanical take them in somewhere ......if the brake pads are left too long the metal will wear away the rotors and then it all needs to be replaced....hopefully just the pads need replacing but it sounds like if it is shaking that bad rotors are gone too. usually the pads will make a sqeaking sound when the get to worn so you know that they need replacing.
