dukes1561 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Hey guys, I'm new around here, looking for some help. I have a 2009 Ford Focus Mk2.5 Zetec s/s 1.8. Had it since November, there's about 62000 miles on the clock. Recently noticed a grinding/grating noise when braking heavily on low traction surfaces. It's not a normal ABS sound, I'm fairly confident what ABS activation sounds like. I thought at first it may be the ABS malfunctioning, but I've also noticed on a few occasions the same sound with a bit of wheel spin, but not every time. So it seems it's more associated with losing traction than just heavy braking. Here's a dash cam video where you can hear the sound: Any ideas/help with what it could be would be appreciated. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F0CUE Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I get the same especially in snow but apparently abs is noisy and if normal breaking is fine then there is nothing wrong but I hate it it's scary lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
