Grinding brakes?? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike on  Thu Sep 26 05:27 CST 2002 [RELATED]

If it happens only just prior to coming to a stop, and after the brakes have been warmed up, read on...

Many people had the same issue, and they point to non-OEM rear brake rotors & pads. Not sure if front ones cause the same problem. For older pads, you need cut-away shims.

I have the same problem on 96 855t, even with OEM rear rotors and pads (according to my indy shop, anyway), but only when I brake very hard. When I drive & brake more gently, it doesn't happen even when the brakes are warmed up.
