While replacing my rear shocks and shock tower bushings, I went ahead and put in new brake pads and got the rotors turned so that basically everything would be done on the rear end.

However, since that time, I get alot of grinding from the rear brakes at low speeds and can hear it with the windows down. Seems about equal on each side. In my life, I have done more than my fair share of brake jobs but this is the first time I have seen this behavior.

Do you all think the need pads just need to "seat" in a bit or should I start pulling everything a part and inspect?

Thanks in advance for the help.

 

Shouldn't be any grinding from bedding in new pads/skimmed rotors, definitely need to check correct assembly.

Also the parking brake is part of the rear rotor, I'm wondering if something could be a miss there?

 

did you try to make the pads with the bigger clip fit?

 

Are you talking the bigger clip no the back of the pad that goes into the piston of the caliper?

 

To all - all fixed now, not really sure of the issue but I had the rotors replaced vs. prior they were turned down and that solved the issue. Not sure why the turned rotors were grinding but it is now fixed.

 

I would hazard a guess, that when reassembled with the new rotors, they were installed correctly . . . see #2
