Thread: Brakes rubbing?

My rear brake line went yesterday. And the mechanic replaced it and got the air out of the system. Now it sounds like a slow motion sprinkler kind of. I have a sound clip of it and it stops when the brakes are applied. If you think you could help and you want to hear the sound clip pm me your email address. Thank you

definitely did. He only bled the left rear though.. I think it's from the front but I could be wrong. I'm going to get them all done this weekend. Maybe pads. The mechanic said that I don't need rotors. Should I replace them or just leave them?

that could be why.. I need brakes all around. Every now and then the front ones squeak

it seems louder today.. If it turns out to be a hub or wheel bearing that's not going to be good..

Could b your brakes. Jack it up pull the wheel and check em. Determine the brakes are ok first before we go hub.

5Star tuned.....

hopefully that is the issue.. I'm going on Saturday to get the brake hoses put on ( with the help of a mechanic saying and showing what to do ) brakes blead, possibly pads and rotors.. Speed sensor replaced. Air conditioner checked out ( tested for leaks ) then the valve cover gaskets sometime in the next few weeks also.

Yeah it's the brakes... The rotors are fried. It started chugging when you hit the brakes.. Got pads and rotors just now. Ever used Wagner brand? I got them for $200 with a family friend's business discount rotors are $63 each. And $74 and pads are $79 and $66 total cost would be $421 without the discount
