Noise After Brake Job
I replaced my rear brake pads and rotors on Friday (3/10) with Hawk Pads
and DBA Drilled and Slotted high quality rotors. One of my wheels is
giving off a harsh noise when braking. Its more than a squeal, but not
necessarily a scrape or a grind.
Is it normal to hear this after a brake job?
Thanks,
Matt

It may just be the pads and the rotors wearing-in to each other. If it
sounds really bad, it could be a pad installed backward (backing plate
toward the rotor). If that's not the case, give it a week of driving or
so to see if the noise goes away.

I really don't mean any offense, as I am sure it was an honest mistake, but
the cars I have worked on in the last, oh, say 15 years, couldn't have the
pad installed backwards. How could you even do that?

The last few cars I've owned have had symmetric brake pads. The pads
without the wear sensors could be installed backwards. Apparently,
that's true of the Elantra's pads, too. Funny stuff! ;-)
