notBMW Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I have a 98 GS400. I recently replaced front and rear brake pads with Axxis Deluxe pads after hearing a grinding noise from the front driver's side when I stop hard. The grinding noise has still persisted after replacing the pads. Has anyone experienced this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Tang Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 what was the condition of the brake rotors? were they machined/turned at the same time the pads were replaced? also, what condition were the calipers in? no sticking pistons?

Rotors are in good condition. Did not turn them. Calipers work fine no sticking. I bedded in the pads. No vibrations. Just the grinding noise from driver front when braking hard.
