caramall2 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Rotors felt a little warped (30k miles) so had dealer resurface and install Endless SS-M pads. Warp seemed to get worse from resurface. Dealer replaced front rotors under warrantee. Brakes work fine (no vibrations, etc.) BUT now they make a scrunchy/creaky sound when braking under 10 mph (as you come to a stop)--almost like the pads are grabbing like "hard rubber" vs ceramic. Could rotors need "roughing up"? Problems with the pads being seated properly, etc? I'm going to need a whole pit crew soon--brake issues, possible UP leak issues, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebpda9 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 i bet that sound is from the pads not being beded corectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caramall2 Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 Just found this as I hadn't seen it before... http://legacygt.com/forums/suspension-brakes/33581-brakes-make-crunch-sound.html?highlight=bedding+brakes Sounds like it's not an issue of a few firm braking passes, but more a long term (Keefe guessed 1000 mi) to get material on the rotors. The pads are wonderfully low dusting (I see now how much "dirt" I thought I was getting was really brake dust). Maybe this is part of the low dust benefit--longer bedding process. Just sounds/feels bad, like it's not good for the brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
