Brake grinding in reverse, what could it be?

TheBocSez · 01-05-2008, 12:41 PM

Have an 00 GT with 03 Cobra brakes up front. When in reverse, there is disctict grinding sound. I have noticed that it is louder in the interior than the exterior of the car and that it only happens in reverse.

When brake pressure is applied it goes away. It is also not side specific. I have heard it on both sides but usually one side at a time.

I have not had a chance to crawl under the car to look as I have been replacing water damaged flooring in the house do to a faulty toilet, just looking for ideas on where to look and what to look for.

Thanks

Sounds like the calipers are hanging up or the caliper bolts are loose.

why would it only happen in reverse?

Only real way to tell is yank the wheels for a closer inspection. May be some trash wedged in there, who knows.

SnakeBit summed it up pretty good on the Corral.

Yeah I agree, going to check in to those things. The pad vibrating part sounds pretty close based on the noise Im hearing.
