Hi gang, just recently I've noticed that there is a very apparent grinding noise from my driver's side rear wheel when I use the brakes.
I've noticed it only happens after the car has been sitting for several hours. I drive the car about 100kms every day so the brakes are getting regular use and it happens in dry conditions as well as wet. It's not a squeaking noise like you sometimes get when the brakes are wet, but it's definitely a grinding/creaking noise. It usually happens first thing in the morning after it's been sitting over night, and after work when it's been sitting in a parking lot for several hours.
Usually after 3 good brakes, the noise disappears. I have drums in the rear and I just got my brakes inspected not even 2 months ago. At that time they were given a "green light" and the mechanic noted I have 6mm left on the invoice.
Any thoughts?
