brakes grinding

[Glen Baker LLC]

Maybe a rock or something got stuck and is grinding?

Thanks. im not sure where the rock would be. theres not much room between the pads and rotors for anything to get in. and the rotors look fine as far as i know. you can only hear it when braking at very low speed

It has happened.

thanks 710-oil. i hope your right but it sure sounds like metal on metal.

Wonder if it's the inside pads? They always seem to wear quicker. Although can't see why with so low miles, unless a caliper is hanging up

i have taken off the wheels and the inside pads looked good as far as i know. 9k extremely easy miles. someone said maybe the pads are glazed for some reason. I cant see the face of the pads of course unless i remove them and i dont really know how to do that.

Hmm..is it more rotational noise or you're thinking definitely grinding brakes? I wonder if it could be a rotational metal noise, maybe a bent brake dust shield making noise at low speed? sometimes those can sound like a grinding brake. How does the pedal feel? Any kickback or grinding through the brake oedal

there is no noise when gliding to a stop in neutral without the brakes. easy to hear when applying brakes in my garage. brakes seem good. no pulling to a side. they stop strait and no vibration on pedal or steering wheel. going slow and light braking is when its most obvious. seems if there was a rock stuck somewhere it would alway grind.

You'd be surprised how stubborn rocks can be. Might actually have to have someone take the pads off to get the rock out if that is the case.
