Several times this afternoon, i felt and heard a weird, grinding sound coming from the right front of the car. I felt the vibrations through the pedal and it felt like it went unusually low. It happened during very light braking (10 mph at the most).
This happened to me several months before at the same low speeds, but reoccurred today for the first time.
My brake pads are fine and I didnt scrap the pavement or anything.

Any ideas?
does it kinda vibrate and wobble ? like the steering wheel while u are braking ? if so your rotors are probably warped
hey, my car has those symptoms that joker7 just described...... constant vibrating and shaking from the steering wheel etc.... is the rotors the only thing i need to replace? and how much do they usually go for? are there ne aftermarket ones that i can get? thanx

Check your pads. Im almost positive I read somewhere in the owners manual that your brakes will sometimes make a grinding sound when your pads are low. Apparantely it is just a warning feature for your to change your pads. Dont take my word for it, but check your pads.

the aem rotors are 85 a piece i hear they are ok there are a few other choices u should check out like www.ardperformance.com or something like that it will cost u around 500 for all new rotors and pads i think ..u should replaced them to cause if u had a warped rotor it would wear the pad in a funny shape

they make a squeling(spell check) noise when its time to replace ..after u go past that point yes they will start grinding the metal against therotor and cause lots of problems ive seen rotors weld themselves to worn brake pads before they got so hot ( not on a car though)
