The 2001 Montero sport/wife is out of town,but i had her cam record the noise as she slowly drove and someone walked next to the rear wheels. i could hear the rotational scraping of metal when the brakes were depressed.
After release of the scraping lessens then disappears sometimes its only fainter.
When she brings it in ill pop the wheel off and see if its a simple fix. Any idea what it could be?
brakes have about 30 k on them 220K.

UPDATE
A friend who knows as little about disc brakes as I,removed the wheel. he can see nothing obviously wrong. No scoring on the disc plate from the scraping that is heard. Nothing loose when tapping and trying to move caliper assy. so there is nothing obvious. Whtever it is ,is inside the caliper assy

Or the parking brake is toast.... The sports use a drum brake for the Parking Brake, so it could be inside that part of the brake rotor.

Did you look both sides of the disc? Sometimes the inside could be scraping only.

If it's been cold or snowing where you are that could be the culprit.

Unfortunately desription of the sound of something can mean 10 different things to 5 different people. Too bad we cant post video with sound. Its hasnt snowed here and its been clear too. |

When removing the rotor be careful as there could be springs and stuff loose in there. If you have not dealt with drum brakes before, I would recommend taking the rotor off the good side and looking at it so you can see how it all goes together. |

I almost guarantee you its the rear metal spring clips for the rear pads.

Did you look both sides of the disc? Sometimes the inside could be scraping only. Looks like you were correct! The pads were wore completely down. Over the last 210K miles the brakes have lasted about 80/90K for each of the first 2 rear pad replacements.(These latest pads lasted ony 40K. Huge diff for no change in driving etc. Used exclusively to same job, same everything. Midas must have put in some lower grade pads thelast time . Amazing,ive never had brakes come on so loud when they were worn. Thats why I thought something had come loose instead. I took it into a shop when they opened at 0800 ,first in line and it was done by 0930. Oh,and $175. Now,lets hope its done and behind me. Thanks to all those that gave opinions. |
