Month Old Brakes are Grinding!

[ChickenDrifter]

Okay, about a month ago I replaced my brake rotors and pads on the rear

of my 95 240sx se. And yesterday I noticed that my brakes were making a

weird kind of loose squeak noise when slowing down and about 10mph it

grinds like crazy. I'm scared sh*tless fellas and dont know what to do the

pads are fine. and the rotors felt fine. WHAT THE HELL DO I DO!

Thanks.

did you do this? ^^ what kind of rotors and pads did you use? did you do it yourself or had somebody else do it for you? can you see any trenches on your rotors?

I had that happen, only when breaking..... it was a hub bearing

It doesnt grind (rub) in reverse brake though. So what the hell i just cleaned them and did the test lets see what happens

you might have a sticking caliper, does it do it on any particular corner, or do all 4 grind?

Hmm, smells like cheap pads...what brand did you have installed? Is the grinding coming from both sides or just one side?

I had some cheap pads on my 240 in the front, once, and they drove fine for like 10k, then hit a hard spot in the front left pad, and made a horrendous grinding sound until I replaced the front pads.

After driving, are the brakes on one side particularly hot?

Some things to consider..

I just dont know if its the front left or rear left i cant tell and they are both rear duralast pads from autozone. so IDK.

have you checked the fronts? i know, fukkin obvious, but i gotta ask. the fact it doesnt do it in reverse kinda points to it
