My front discs have started to make a "graunching" noises... sometimes.
It is at the end of stopping.
I still have .... say 5mm of pad left.
No - i havent pulled them yet to see what the inside ones are like, i can see the outside pad through the mag.
I doesnt "squeal" like a worn our pad metal on metal noise, it is a graunch, a rough noise.
You can sort of feel it as well.
Will be pulling out the pads on the weekend, just looking for tips.

Calipers not bolted on tight?
barls ·
rock between the pad and disc
68AutoBug ·
small stone jammed between the pads ...
but does still sound like maybe the inside pad has worn thru..... especially if You can feel it.....
But I suppose a stone could make the same noise....
do You drive on dirt roads?
Many years ago, the brakes on My type 3 used to squeal
most of the time due to small stones.... but I did drive on unsealed roads a lot....

Sort of hoping it is a rock - maybe caught beside the pad so as not grinding all the time. Only when it turns that way.
If it was metal on metal i would have thought it would be all the time and quite loud???
Will see Sunday................
