    Grinding sound when braking

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I changed my rotors/pads about 600km ago, and today I noticed a pretty heavy grinding sound coming from the rear when I was braking, sounds like I'm dragging something. I took off the wheels and everything looked alright... what would be the causes of that?

    Was it just the sound of grinding, or could you feel the grinding through your brake pedal as well?

    Sounds like worn out pads to me. Did you inspect the pads when you had the wheels off?
