What is the horrible scrubbing sound when you apply the brakes?
Typically, it means your brake pads have worn down to a critical level. In newer brake pads (like your own), there are "sensors" built into the pad so that, when the pad is on the verge of wearing out completely and thus causing sever brake damage, these tiny buttons run against the drum and make a truly awful shrieking sound. It's likely you haven't done irreparable damage to your brakes yet, but you're about to. Change the pads ASAP. [[User:Cjonb|Cjonb]] 20:53, 2 Jun 2008 (UTC)
