Norman L. Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I put new front brake pads on my 2001 Deville this morning. It was pretty straightforward and I didn't have any problems. The rotors looked good so didn't have them turned. Used NAPA ceramic pads, medium grade. I started to bed the brakes per the repair manual and have a horrible grinding noise when I stop. I just went around the block and am half afraid to do any more driving until I get some information on the forum. Is the sound that I am getting normal during pad breakin (I noticed the surface of the new pads are pretty rough) and can I anticipate the noise going away after additional stops of have I installed the pads wrong someway? I have done front brake jobs a number of times before and never had any problems (never with ceramic pads though) so I am not really a novice but am somewhat confused at this point and don't want to damage the rotors. Any help will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 That doesn't sound normal at all. I'd pull the wheels and have a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
