Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Brakes weird brake noise

ok sometimes when im backing up and i push on the brakes my left rear brake make a like a rubbing noise and its bugging me any ideas....................... and when i am driving forward i will push on the brakes but only sometimes like 5mph and below it will grind my pads are fairly new so its not those any ideas

What type of pads did you get? Is this noise only sometimes, or everytime you back-up?

is it kinda like a grabbing right before you stop...

when i back out of the driveway i can feel the back brakes grabbing, and when i'm just about to come to a complete stop you can hear them grab

is this it? where it feels like they dont quite stop or are having trouble stoppping even though they do?

no when i back up its like they are rubbing on my rotor tryin to stop but i stop just fine when i go front and back wards and the grinding i just got umm carbon metallic pad i dont know what kind though

can you feel anything in the pedel? I had something like that. brake pads were worn, ate into the rotors. Had to get new rotors and brakes. Made a sound similar to what you are describing then escelated into grinding noise and finally a funny feeling when i pushed the pedel.
