sfrano Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Hi all, My car has started making a grinding type noise when breaking. It started after I had to slam on to avoid someone who had no concept of the give way rules!!! As I pulled away, there was a slight judder, like you get with these new electronic hand brakes, and now I have this grinding noise under breaking, like something is caught in the pad Breaks still work, but the noise is causing some concern. Any ideas what it might be? Car is a mk2 focus Thanks :) Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfrano Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Pads look ok. Could it be some sort of wear indicator for the disks? Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Check if the brakes are binding by jacking the car up, support with axle stands and then spin the wheel by hand. The piston might be sticking and holding the pads onto the disc. It will be easier to find whatever the problem is by doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
