if there is uneven wear on the rotors, the new pads will take time to wear into the grooves on the rotors. rotors in poor condition will reduce the efficiency of your brakes, and promote wear of the pads, you will end up changing them more often. Most brake shops can turn rotors back to being smooth and true.
The grinding could be coming from the rear brakes.
If the brakes are not working on the back of a 1997 Dodge 1500 after changing the brake pads, try bleeding the brakes. The fault may also be with the master cylinder under the hood. Check to make sure all brake lines are connected.
i replace my rear brake shoes on 2001 dodge grand caravan and my emergency brake is still not working
Master cylinder
probably have a bad master cylinder.
sorry, don't have an answer to your brake problem because I too just replaced the rear discs and pads on my 05 Forester and the brakes are grinding. The original discs warped. I've got to check tomorrow to see if I did something stupid. The braking is fine and the sound has deminished but they still grind when I go around turns. Weird huh! Let me know what you find out?
Three main causes, calipers, hoses, and pads.
No
rplaced and bleed brackes on a 95 Honda civic but still no brakes
It is blinking because there is a problem with the Antilock Brake System (ABS). Seek professional help. Your normal brakes will still work as they should even though the ABS may not.
No you dont have to. All I did was was pump the brakes with the car running
It must be the rear brakes at fault.
