lester1982 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Hi all Iv got a problem with my breaks on my 1.6 focus lx... When I break to stop eg at a set of lights I get a real loud grinding noise coming from the passenger side front break and iam finding I'm getting a bit more vibration thro the brake pedal .. Any ideas what this could be ? Cheers Carl Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgrumpy88 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 My guess is break pads gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lester1982 Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 That's what I thought .. When I had a look the outside of the disc it hadn't discoloured from getting hot so must be the inside pad I guess Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troy45 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 To check the pads properly you need to take the wheel off so you can see the inside pad better and in some cases remove the caliper as the pads can wear unevenly top to bottom.

artscot79 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Pads as said or a sticking caliper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdeMk1 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 You'll probably need a new set of Discs now too depending how long you have been driving it with this grinding noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
