brake pad issue, loud noise when braking?

[jdm18c]

Hi guys

Just curious if anyone can shed some light?

I have changed pads n rotors in a car 6 months ago (aftermarket rotors) bendix pads also

Was sweet n now theres a loud grinding noise when braking?

Pads n rotors look good.

Anyones thoughts? Thanks

stone stuck in the pad or heat shield area ? take off wheel take apart and inspect

removed wheel...everything looks good

Is it possible that the noise is coming from the brakes that have not been changed?
I don't hear a lot about defective pads, but it is probably possible.

the brakes have been changed...like new...its more a rumble of some sort under braking

Ben probably right, check for stones between pads and rotor and also rotor and shield. So you jacked car up and spun the hubs to check for noise ect as well? check the rears as well.

Also maybe check that all of the brake calipers bolts are tight, though thats more of a clunking noise, but i'd check that anyway as well

Ok, so all 4 have been changed. Maybe an idea to reassemble the corner that is making the noise.

Maybe take it to qualified workshop like cbauto

I wouldn't, cbauto swapped my new rotors for used ones last time
