Max Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I bought my 05 Fiesta just over two weeks ago, however a grinding noise emits from the front of the car whenever the brakes are applied. I checked the receipts left in the glove box and the pads were replaced last November, so that kinda rules the pads out. Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking it could be a stone stuck in between the pad and the disk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 only way you can tell is to take the wheel off and have a good look at the pad does it tell you the milage when they were done? Also a stone would score the disks.. so worth checking that too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 An even easier way is if you have alloys, look how far the caliper is away from the inside of the alloy, it's a rough guess but obviously the closer they are to the alloy the more material u have left on the pad! best bet, just whip the wheel off and look!
