godfather18 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Heys guys I just replace my rear brakes with Genuine pads and now when I drive at lower speeds I hear a grinding noise, I dont know if the pads are to thick or if I did something wrong but something isnt right for sure. So if anyone has any ideas what it could be please post. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Did you change the pads only? Most new pads will sound rough for the first few miles as they are biting hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coleycoleman1906 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 i have a 97 es300, i took it to the delear because it was embarrassing to hear screeching when i pull up in the lexus, they say its because i have semi metallic pads, if I change them too ceramic, will that fix this noise, will i have to get the rotors turned or just add the new brakes and see what happens,! What other type of brakes are good!? Organic, or is ceramic fine enough! Im going to change them myself, any help or tips would be appreciated! isnt there a break in period for all brakes!? Wait a while, like you said too thick, they have to accomodate to your rotor!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthonyiez Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 i've seen people put the clip-on squealer backwards and it will rub against the rotor. also check to make sure the backing plate isn't rubbing the rotor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
