BRAKES MAKING A SCRAPING SOUND

Post by mitch15 » Tue Jun 29, 2010 4:24 pm

Hi fellow 480 lovers

Just wondering if you can help me.

Recently I drove to London and back (from Brighton) and on my way back my brakes seem to be making a grinding sound. They seem to work fine, is it something i need to address immediately, if so what could it be.

Cheers

Mitch

the pads might have worn down to the metal backing plates and stared catching on the wear lip of the discs. check the pads asap. if so you could wreck the discs as well.
