maddog1982 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I have a horrible grinding noise that I am sure is coming from the left hand side of my car. It happens when I press the brakes and coming to a stop. It is quite a low noise when the car is cold but as it gets warm and the brakes are used it gets louder. If im doing say 70 and want to scrub off speed I cannot hear it.Seems to be loude if I have a passenger to? What is going on! When the car was serviced last month there was loads of life on the pads and the discs look good to my untrained eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouthwash Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Grinding nose from brakes gets worse as car gets hotter? My advice would be to stop putting your face near your brakes. In all seriousness the disc might be warped or cracked? What pads are you using? Just OEM ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddog1982 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Just looked at pads, plenty of life on them. Moved the car up and down the street and under breaking no noise. This is only forwards and backwards and under 5mph. It definatley gets worse as the car gets hot and even worse if I have a passenger. Maybe wheel bearings?

GIXXERUK Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Bearing usually drone and make a noise as you load that side I.e. Turn right left bearing, turn left right bearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Did you check the back of the discs and inner pads ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddog1982 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Not I didnt, only had a quick look while on lunch Ill poke my head under car when I get in. Used a iphone to look at pads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddog1982 Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 Took wheel off today and pulled the pads, no material on the inside one that I couldn't see. This was only the case on the nearside. The offside was very low and the corner broken off. Replaced with brand new pads and she's good as new!
