Brakes and Grinding

[Shawn Foster]

Just noticed that when I step on the brakes I get a grinding feeling through the pedal and it kind of studders to a stop. This deos not happen all the time it only happens once and a while, but it makes it feel like you are not going to stop. What could be the cause of the problem. I have 20's on my truck but it never did this in the past, I have had the rims on it for 3 years. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Maybe your brakes need replaced.



How do your rotors look?

I just had the brakes done about 4,000 miles ago they replaces everything.

Take a wheel off and check all of the mounting bolts on the calipers. I had one come out on my van 1 time because others worked on it.

Sounds like something metal got lodged between the pad and the rotor. Check for something like that.

It sounds like your brake pads are worn out and your are grinding on the rotors.. My guess is you are in for a big $$$$ repair bill.

2001 ST I had uneven brake wear problem RH outboard brake pad had plenty left not close to tab, but RH inboard pad was worn out which cause me to loose a rotor, did not hear any noise or anything.

Same thing happened to me push brake pedal get a shudder and vibration, removed front wheels and found RH inboard brake pad worn out, outboard pad had plenty of meat left, so for some reason I had unven brake wear, replaced LH & RH brake pads and rotors, noise went away no problems since. Anyone else have unven brake wear, 2001 ST.
