So went out and bought new v-clips and installed them but I still get a scraping grinding sound when I brake softly, like there is movement in the pads or caliper.

It doesn't make the sound when I brake at a higher spead just when I am slowing down to brake. I did buy the ceramic pads so I just don't know what else I can do.

Anything else to try would help.

Thanks

is the scraping noise constant or does it pulse?

Constant until I brake really hard

Sounds like metal on metal and scrapping but no scrape on rotor and my rim looks fine.

Perhaps you should take a look at your brake shield. It might be rubbing on the rotor. I know i had that problem awhile ago. I bent the shield where it was touching the rotor and the noise went away.

wouldn't that scrape all the time then? This just happens when i slow down and lightly touch the brakes.

No. Mine was scraping sometimes.

Mine was making sound at lower speed though.

Could it be a bent rotor?

denvergs4

I guess it could be how would I find out if that was the case?

denvergs4

It doesn't look bent or even warped!

you can not tell by just looking at the rotor. Get it resurface when you install the new brake pad
