Nolmers06LGT Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Symptoms: loud grinding, squealing sound from front of car, no change in volume or pitch when brakes are applied. Frequency: Twice in the last 2 days, but for maybe less than a mile (I pulled over to inspect (because paranoia), and when I pulled away it was gone. Possible causes: -They recently filled potholes by my work with fine gravel, I'm thinking maybe I'm getting some contamination on my pads? -Seized caliper -wheel bearing Thoughts? Thanks!

HarryD Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I had a similar circumstance several years ago. Mine turned out to be a stone that had lodged in between the rotor and the sheet metal brake shield plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolmers06LGT Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 That's kinda what mine sounds like, I just wanted to be sure it wasn't signs of anything catastrophic. Because with these cars, you just never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're getting low, but shouldn't be low enough to cause intermittent problems. I would think that if they were low enough to grind, it would be constant.
