Scraping Sound?

BadBlackGT · January 1st, 2010, 04:23 PM

I had to take my calipers off the other day, and reinstalled them. Torqued every bolt and is tight. But the car is making a scraping sound as if the shoes aren't tight like before pumping the brakes. But is like this driving. Sounds HORRIBLE. I just took them apart and reset them, but still does the same thing!

Idk, shoes look pretty worn, but may be the guide pins in the side of the caliper. Any input guys?

Check the caliper slides....The sliding things on the bracket that the caliper bolts thread into. The rear ones have a thing for getting stuck. You may not notice it/it may not get worse until you remove the caliper or put new pads on, then reinstall.

shoes?

This is for your 02 right?

My advice is to lube everything back up.

Also, this may sound weird but... Make sure the dust shield isn't bent and touching the back of the rotor. Mine was bent when I was installing struts and was making a scraping sound. If it is just bend it back to it's normal position.

I have seen that before.
