RAPIER BRAKES

Post by parcelman »

just noticed the last couple of days when i press the brake pedal i can hear the pads making contact with the disc,like a metal tinny noise.the pads and discs all four corners were only fitted five months ago,any idea chaps.

have you actually checked the pad thickness, if you have a seized caliper then you will found out it will wear out the inner pad very quickly. it could possibly just be the back plate thats rubbing slightly. but the rear calipers are prone to seizing. time to check before they take out your discs :wink:
