rear brakes scraping like something came loose
The 01 montero sport/wife is out of town,but i had her cam record the noise as she slowly drove and someone walked next to the rear wheels. i could hear the rotational scraping of metal when the brakes were depressed. After release of the scraping lessens then disappears sometimes its only fainter. When she brings it in ill pop the wheel off and see if its a simple fix. Any idea what it could be? brakes have about 30 k on them 220K

UPDATE A friend who knows as little about disc brakes as I,removed the wheel. he can see nothing obviously wrong. No scoring on the disc plate from the scraping that is heard. Nothing loose when tapping and trying to move caliper assy. so there is nothing obvious. Whtever it is is inside the caliper assy

sounds like you are down to the sensors on the pads .... time to change the pads

The pads were wore completely down. Amazing,ive never had brakes come on so loud when they were worn. Thats why I thought something had come loose instead. Driving is always the same(to and from work car only) Since new the car got 80K each on 2 brake linings. The third linings was only 40K & that with no changes in driving.Either cheaper lining or they tightened the prking brake too much when last done. Never noticed results from being adjusted too tightly so i assume they put inferior pads for my MS to only to get only 40K I took it into a shop(no appt needed) when they opened at 0800 ,first in line and it was done by 0930. Oh,and $175. Thanks to all those that gave opinions. |
