'09 Ford Focus brake rotors plus ads. What to get to fix grinding noise?
Ford Focus SEL 2009
I changed my brake pads recently but didn't change the rotors. The rotors are a little bit worn but still have some meat. Probably a good idea to replace them anyway though.
Since I changed the pads a noise started. It sounds like the grinding of a thin piece of metal against a harder surface; like the tin clips on the pads or the hardware/clips that hold the pads. Imagine if you were to grab one of those clips and rub it against the caliper once per rotation, so it's not a constant noise; it's more like during rotation at one point 2 surfaces make contact everytime, so as you gather speed the frequency of the grind increases.
It might not be a big deal but it bothers me enough that I'd like to fix it. So I'm thinking it's time to change the rotors and since I'm doing that, I guess new pads are in order too...
I have an amazon.com credit that I plan to use for this. Can you guys suggest a brand or a set that I can find on amazon that would be good quality and work well for what I'm trying to do?
