Why does my car make a loud grinding sound (like metal on metal) when i drive? It gets louder when i stop..jamonb5 - 2006 Lincoln Zephyr - Brakes - 2/26/2012It started about two or three days ago, my rotors were a little worn so I changed them all, including the brake pads.

2/26/2012 rickWell now that the brakes are ok time to look else where . My money is on the fact that you have a wheel bearing thats bad . Jack up that side and grab the tire top and bottom and pull back anf forth . Bet it moves all around . Don't be driving till you fix it . Not alot of fun at 60 mph and have things come apart .

-
2/2/2012 RCMore information is needed. Where is the sound coming from, and when does it occur? You mentioned that you replaced brake lines and flushed the system, but what about the brake pads?

2/2/2012 pops carrecently replaced front brake lines front rotors sounds like the noise is comming from the engine compartment from the mastercylender and or the the brake booster
2/2/2012 JasonOkay. The brake booster can make noises. If the pedal is hard, that indicates a faulty booster.
2/2/2012 pops carwhen braking the pedal goes to the floor jerking while the noise is being made
2/2/2012 JasonDid a shop replace the brake lines (hoses), and did you have this problem before the work was performed?
2/2/2012 JasonIf the system was not bled correctly, there may be air trapped in the ABS hydraulic control unit.

Grinding sound coming from rear of vehicle.marmarlet - 2006 Lincoln Zephyr - Brakes - 12/16/2011Is it possible for a stone to get caught somewhere in the brake to cause a grinding sound until it is miraculously ejected and the grinding stops?
-
12/16/2011 JimmSeveral possibilities; worn / loose front or rear wheel bearing, worn brake pads, worn / warped brake rotor - or trapped stone - as you have suggested. Pull the wheel to check the brake condition - maybe consider having it checked by a competent and reputable repair shop.
Any abnormal noise heard is an indication that a condition needs to be checked. Try the 'How-To-Guides' feature on this website for specific steps to check and diagnose the brake system.
12/16/2011 marmarletIf it were the wheel bearings, wouldn't the noise continue? Also I had the brakes worked on earlier this year and haven't driven that far for them to be worn. The noise has stopped, so I was hoping that it wouldn't be the wheel bearings. Thank you for your answers. You are helping a poor, shaken retired old lady. (HeeHee!) -
