Dragging noise after replacing brake rotors Sign up here! Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Brake Repair Help BNHX New User Nov 23, 2019, 2:34 PM Post #1 of 4 (2603 views) Dragging noise after replacing brake rotors Sign In 1997 Hyundai Tiburon Base Model (1.8) -- 105000 Miles Replaced brake rotors as a fun project in this car. Had assistance and help throughout. Once the rotors and brake pads were replaced there seemed to be a dragging noise. (Similar on both sides) I have cleaned parts and replaced the brake hardware in hopes this noise would disappear. I am somewhat new at understanding how all these parts and pieces work. Do new rotors and pads have to be worn in? How would I know if the rotor is warped? Is there supposed to be visual clearance between rotor and pads while the brakes aren't activated? The noise only occurs when brake pads are in place. Any ideas or obvious things I'm missing? Thanks!

Check to see if the backing plate is making contact with the rotor. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Just wanted to see if there was anything obvious I was forgetting. Seems I’m doing okay so far. If you have anything helpful I’d love to hear it.

I reread your question. Did you replace the rotors and not the pads. That would explain a lot. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
