khemgrg36 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Hi guys I've got a problem with my brakes (or at least I think that's the case). There's like a vibration that I can feel on my feet when the car is coming to a halt. It doesn't happen immediately after I brake but happens when the car is about to stop. I tried searching on the forums for help but to no avail. Any help appreciated. Cheers, Khem.

SideWhiskers Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 A grinding/vibration means your pads are worn right away and the backing plate is contacting the rotor.

khemgrg36 Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 Thanks for that man. How much am I looking at to get a pair of new ones? Also, does it have to be done urgently or can I wait until the next service which is due in September? Thanks once again mate.

Jetpilot1986 on here (i think thats his username) sells QFM HPX pads for $79, just search the business traders forum. As for putting it off, check the pad level yourself through the rim if you can.

Moodles2 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Hi ma8Thanks for the info. I'm assuming I just have to replace my front pads, right? Check it yourself, it's not hard. Just look through the rim, or take the wheel off. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/283473-brake-noise/#findComment-4773082 Share on other sites More sharing options...
