Even if you were leaning really hard on the brakes, I would have thought that 10,000km's for a set of stock pads is pretty quick, no?Quote:

if pads are juddering, a few hard stops either in forward or reverse motion may clean up the oxides on the pads.
other possibility may be stones caught between the dust shield and the disc
I know someone who wore his rear pads down in 9000km.Quote:

MY BREAK GOT THE SAME PROBLEM ON 6000KM ALREADY....N..I BRING IT BACK TO HONDA...THEY TRY TO FIX. IT .....BUT AFTER still got the same problem....do u think the they can change me the new break@_@???
lol i thought i was hearing things. i've also heard noises while i brake. but i didn't believe it was me cause my car has only done 22000km's.
i brought my car in for service at 20000kms and asked them to check my brakes, they checked it and said they couldn't find the problem and said they cleaned my pads? (lol dunno, they said something along those lines) and i still do hear noises once in a while, it isn't always.
