Grinding noise when stopping.

[dham99]

Need help i have grinding type noise appears the be in in the front when stopping hard and quick, sounds like rotor brake metal to metal I have checked the rotors the are fine, no groves or damage, Any suggestion? Thx

did you pull the rotors off and check the pads and rotors or just look at the exposed surface of the rotor?

Your pads could just be getting to that worn out point and making noise... or you could have a rock wedged in there making noise.

you said you checked the rotors but what about the break pads?


Maybe just spray some break cleaner on them and see what happens.

edit : KPSquared posted right as I did.. so what he said

THANKS they are new rotors and pads as of may did not pull the rotors did pull tires off to look. I will look for a rock. and apply brake cleaner no pulsating as when rotors are warped either Thx again

i have the same thing happening with mine. i put new pads on and the rotors look good. but it still sounds like the pads are shot, i have not found any rocks or any thing around the rotor. thanks for your help.

Welcome to this forum! I've moved your thread into the Ranger section. Check the caliper bolts to see if they are loose.

What kind of pads did you use? If you used an aggresive pad that could be your noise.
