Scuffing Noise When Braking

[El1M1N8OR]

Right Guys,

Got a scuffing noise when braking.  Changed the rear pads and still the noise.  Recently changed the front pads after the noise sounded louder and it’s still there.

The noise does sound like worn pads.

The old pads still had decent amount of meat on them.

Would the discs be the culprit for the sound?

Thank you

Sure it's not the dust shields rubbing on something, not unusual for the rears to rot around the fixings and start moving around, happens on mine.

Do you have any vibration from braking feedback thru pedal?

Need to examine both sides of the brake discs to see if the calipers are functioning correctly.

Agree with pudding the outer disc face on mine looked good but the inner face was rusty as hell only about 2cm of pad on disc, turned out sliders were siezed

Dust shields are gone.  They make a tinny sound, this is a lot more harsh.

I have just came home from a month at sea yesterday and now when I brake at low speed I get a knocking sound.

At High speed it's like a whine like a wheel bearing but intermittent.

Is that my ABS?

Is there a DIY remedy?

I now have a knocking when braking at low speed and a wheel bearing type of sound braking at higher speed but still intermittent.

Is this ABS?

You can try dismantling the calipers, cleaning and greasing sliders, most of the time the caliper corrodes and lifts the clips the pads sit on so they wont move freely. If its been sat for any length of time prob best having calipers reconditioned/ replaced. I left mine standing for 4 months and had to replace both rear calipers and managed to save the fronts with some cleaning, filing and greasing!!!

Good Luck
