Hello from Atlanta! Particularly inhot weather, the brakes seem to be barely touching the rotors and making noise. When you touch the pedal, the noise stops. Also, when backing down a steep driveway, occassionally there's a pop noise andI can feel it in the pedal. These symptoms reappeared shortly afterrotors, front calipersand padswere replaced and thelines bled. The car stops ok, but has a scrungy sound at the end of stopping.Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Have you checked the e brake adjustment>Did you use anti sqeek on the pad backings when the brales were done?

Hey.....My brakes (95 E320) aremaking the same "scrungy" sound as it comes to a dead stop. Kind of a grindy sound.
Pads are near new (OEM) and I had the rotors surfaced.
Still.............hmmmm.
What to do?

 

Thanks ohlord. I followed the Bentley Bible and only used heat resistant paste on the 2 edges, no anti squeek on the pad backs. Haven't checked the e brake, but am99% sure the noise is on the front brakes.

 

Imitation rotors and pads make that sound. I know that from experience... $$$$$$$$$ Good luck! [&:]
