that would make sense if it was just my back rotor making the sound, my front right rotor is making the same sound just not as often and i have inspected that three times and it looks good on all sides....Originally Posted by turbotiger

Re: grinding coming from wheels while braking
does any one know the min service thickness of the rotors? I looked it up at work but our computer doen't list a machine or discard spec.
I killed my front and rear pads by 20k. I can't believe you still have stock pads in the rear at 40k!!!!!!! I'll bet money its the right rear making the noise.
you "experienced" guys have never had a brake pad get low enough to have the backing plate rubb the rotor lip? not very experienced then I take it. especially when you slap another set of pads on rotors that havn't been machined, the lip just gets bigger as the pad get smaller. its very common on fixed caliper style brakes. I see it all the time

Re: grinding coming from wheels while braking
Minimum thickess for the rotors:
Front: 1.17"
Rear: 0.80"
If someone drives a lot of freeway that does little braking, there should be no reason why their brakes shouldn't last. Type of usage is the key factor for brake wear, not mileage.

Re: grinding coming from wheels while braking
the rear pad was worn to shit. it was actually griding into the pad backing...
the wierd thing was that the rear right pad was fucked (the inside pad) but the rear left had more meat on it...

Re: grinding coming from wheels while braking
Bingo! Problem found. Did I not tell you the inside pads wear faster than the outsides??

Re: grinding coming from wheels while braking
good, just a worn pad and not a rotor lip like some super mechanics thought.
glad to hear you didn't throw a ton of money at it.

Re: grinding coming from wheels while braking
well i had some other problems keeping me from really driving it.good, just a worn pad and not a rotor lip like some super mechanics thought.
glad to hear you didn't throw a ton of money at it.
although the problem seems to be solved like i said it WAS coming from the front right as well but i cant replicate the sound anymore. maybe it was just the rear, who knows. what i do know is that i need new headlights and a bumper!
