Under medium/hard braking I now hear a terrible sound; metallic, but not exactly grinding. Maybe more like the sound you would get putting a few nuts and bolts in a blender--meaning its more than just two parts making the noise, I think. But its only under medium/hard breaking and I don't get the sense that my breaking force has been reduced.
I took the wheels off all 4 corners but didn't see anything obviously wrong. Pads had meat, no suspicious marks on the disks. Checked the torque on the bolts holding the calipers to the axle and steering knuckle.
Front bearings were replaced a year ago and I dont have any play in the front wheels (trying to rock the wheel with hands at 12 and 6 on the wheel). Outer CV joints were replaced last week which is about the same time I started to hear this. I had also cleaned and repacked the inner CV joints, and replaced the boots.
As an experiment, I got the car to around 20mph and starting to pull on the e-brake. I still heard the sound. I'm thinking maybe is the transfer of weight as the car slows, rather than the brakes themselves. I didnt check to see if in-gear vs coasting mattered. I should have.
Any ideas on where to look tomorrow ?
