Saab rubbing sound when braking.

My wife has a 2003 Saab 9.3 Turbo. When you brake there is an intermittent rubbing sound as if it is happening on every revolution. Brakes and rotors have been checked on three occassions by Saab certified mechanics. Bushings were replaced once as well. What else could it be except an old car?

The brake pads may be worn or more likely the brake discs are warped.

If it only happens when the brakes are applied it has to be the pads or rotors , the pads have a wear indicator on them that rubs on the rotor when the pads require replacement, have your mechanic pull the pads and do a visual inspection.

Have you put the correct caliper on each side?
Are bleed screws facing upward?
If so you will probably need to have brakes pressure bled to push through air in ABS system.

SOURCE: need to replace rear brake rotors on 2003 Exp Sport Trac

The rotor is not bolted on , the lugnuts from the wheel / tire holds the rotor in place. Once the caliper is removed , you will need to free the rotor from the wheel bearing/hub assembly . A large hammer will be required if rusted to the hub, then you may need to back off the e-brake shoes through the slot in the back of the backing plate, you must use a brake spoon and a pick to back off the adjuster to allow the rotor/drum to clear the ebrake shoes. please rate my answer, this helps me out , Thankyou have a great weekend.

Check control module and wireing for loose or bad connection. Intermittent problems are hard to diagnose even at shop and can get expensive fast so also try taking off negative battery cable for 1 hour to reset all cars computers believe it or not this fixes 80 percent of intermittent problems

I am hearing a squealing sound usually when braking.

sounds like a wheeel bearing ..very common on this vehicle .or it may very well just be the splash plate behind the rotor rubbing against the rotor this is also common get on the ground ,using maby a length of cardboard so not to get real dirty and look to see if the splash guard is really rubbing if so bend it back out to correct the issue ..if not lift the vehicle off the groung and try moving the wheel from side to side and top to bottom wiggle it is there a lot of play ir is it tight if loose it will most likely be the wheel bearing going bad as well whomever replaced the brakes should have checked this out for youi if you described the problem to them
