This is often caused by installing new pads on worn or slightly worn rotors. Buying new rotors or turning the same rotors would make a smooth surface for the new pads to rub against. Any surface that is less than smooth will cause some grinding for a few days or maybe longer. It also shortens the life of your new pads.
this could have MANY answers, but the most common is worn out brake pads rubbing against the rotors.
Maybe it's coming from the rear brakes.
Are you Breaking when you get the grinding sound? Or attempting to switch to 4 wheel? Most common grinding sound I know is a worn out brake pad tearing up a rotor. Time for a brake job. New rotors and quality pads can be had for about 150 if you do the labor yourself.
Depending on the what type of car or truck could be the brakes or rotors low brake fluid, or the boot is open and its gone dry, wheel bearings. hope this helps
It depends on where the grinding noise is coming from. Most of the time the grinding is coming from the brakes and the brake pads need to be replaced. If they've been grinding for a while, the rotors will need to be resurfaced or replaced. Other possibilities for grinding are worn axle bearings, or a problem with the clutch. If the clutch goes out, there will be a grinding noise when you try to shift gears.
I would suspect your brake pads are worn out. The grinding you are hearing is the destruction of your rotors taking place. It is also possible that you may have a defective wheel bearing. Inspect your brake system.
A grinding noise when braking can occur when the brake pads are going bad. You are hearing the brake grinding on the metal discs.
Your front breaking pads are needed to be repalced, you might have to replace rotors.
Type your answer here... because your brake pads are grinding into your rotors --change your brake pads and most likely your rotors too
Normally a rusty rotor would not make a grinding noise. A grinding noise from the brakes usually indicated that the pads or shoes are worn down.
Sounds like you need a new set of brake pads and might have to get the rotors turned. Sounds like you need a new set of brake pads and might have to get the rotors turned.
Pads or shoes worn beyond usable. Replace pads and rotors or shoes and drums as needed.
