I am not mechanically inclined and I always looked to my older brother for help when it came to advice about cars and now I can no longer do that. My brother passed away August 10 of 2021. I came across your video and watched it so that way I can teach myself how to do small fixes. I'll have to watch several time's to grasp the concept of putting everything back where it needs to be. Wish me luck in getting my breaks fixed.
You can do it! Easy!
Good luck to you, you older bro will be helping you along the way! You got this.
Hey hope it went well! Also hope you’re able to seek guidance when it comes to handling greef it’s a hard thing to adjust to life with. Have a kick ass day!
Blessings man, hope you doing great now❤
@@KyTaundry you mean sister. She is a woman.
Thanks for including the sounds. That was VERY educational.
No.
It was

I learned more about brakes in this 8:45 video than I have in the past 40+ years. Thank you.
Glad I could help!
@@BudgetMechanicHawaii why is it when i realease the brake pedal, the breaks make a sound?
Not sure! Get in there and take a look!
@@BudgetMechanicHawaii Hello, i have a question and i think you know the answer. :) About that grinding audio sample from video... Few days ago i was stuck in a mud. I was trying to get out and the car was all in mud. Everywhere.. Brakes, callipers, discs, springs, shocks... I washed it 10 hours later and everything was ok. Next day i started the car and when i startto move slowly i heard EXACTLY that sound from your video for about 20 seconds of driving. Now every time when i sit in the car the same thing happens, few seconds of that sound and than ok. Any idea? Thank you.
I learn it when i was 16 with my dad,
Dude, you are great. Thx for helping the helpless like me.
Sameeee
My husband knows how to fix cars

This was very informative and you explained in a way that us car illiterate folks can understand . Thank you I appreciate the time you took to add the squeak and grind sounds as well! 👍🏾
Sound samples were really helpful man, really appreciate your work. Thanks
brake calipers make sounds too if the pistons are worn or if it doesn't apply well or doesn't get hydraulic fluid to move it
I just wanna own nothing and be happy
And also eat ze bug?
Grinding also happens when the rotors cover bends inward and hits the front part of the calipers making it grind against the rotors itself 💭
GOOD POINT ALCATRAZ. THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS MY SITUATION, BUT NO, IT IS NOT THE CASE.
I’m having trouble with my front passenger. I have brand new brake sensors, pads, and rotors all around, yet I get a squeaking noise while driving, but it goes away with brake pressure. Anyone know anything please let me know! This is the only thing wrong with my car and it’s driving me insane
prob need a caliper or the one you have is stuck
Same. Its driving me nuts while driving my ford taurus to calls. I just had everything replaced by the ford dealership. But time to take my car out of service to fix all four
Thank you! I love the way you break this down, with the sounds included.... Welp! off to get these break pads replaced, I found out the problem. 😁
Do it yourself. Saves a lot of money. Chrisfix has this tutorial
You didn’t…
@@BudgetMechanicHawaii LMFAOAOAOOAOAOAAO HE DIDDD
Just wanted to add my experience to help anyone trying to diagnose problems. The second noise (the one at 6:36) was similar to the sound we heard from the front brakes of our vehicle. We brought it into the shop to get new brake pads on warranty and the mechanic said that the brake pads were gone. Like, he graded them at the 0 percentage. He said we shouldn't have really been driving on them. The grinding had also damaged the rotors a little bit so the two front rotors were replaced (they had already been resurfaced previously due to a different brake issue so we had to replace this time). Just my experience with the noise and the result. Good luck with your vehicles, folks!
Going through that rn unfortunately I can only handle the pads this week, so I just need to keep the car in town with family but thankfully it's doesn't sound like it's end of the world since I'm up in Buffalo and it's getting into the bad part of winter so a lot of snow could kill me
Oh my! My car is sounding like someone took their nails and slid them down a chalk board 🤦🏾♀️ it’s horrible
i just replaced a new premium brake pads with re-surfaced rotor, when i press the brake,i hear the grinding noise on the brake, not the sharp noise, just the Dull noise seems gernerate by the rotor and the pads. do i have to change to new rotor or can be fixed?
Been hearing a very faint squeak when I DON’T push the brakes, goes away when I do. I knew that brake pads had a warning indicator but I wondered if that’s what I was hearing. I clicked on this video hoping to get some answers and sure enough, you answered my question exactly. Thanks!
Glad I could help
Exactly what I was look for, thanks for the tips, very helpful including the sounds makes real perfect.
Thank you! I was FREAKING out over the sounds my car was making yet I couldn't explain it to anyone! The grinding sound you showed is exactly the same that I'm hearing! I have never changed brakes on my own so this will be a first for me! Keeping my fingers crossed! Thanks for the insight!
Hope it went well 🤙🏽
Glad I found your video because that second sound is the sound I'm hearing and you are so right, it wasn't happening the other day and now it just started.
Now I've got to find a video on how to change my rear rotors and rear brake pads on both sides on my 2000 Ford expedition 4.6L V8 Triton XLT so wish me luck.😏
Thanks for helping us out. Now i know what's the weird sound coming out when i step on my brake.
it helps a little but my grinding sound is a little bit different. When I press my brakes I only heard a somewhat girding sound when I'm completely stopped and I press the brake in more
Recently got my rotors resurfaced, new brakes, they squeak while driving, stop when I apply the brakes, and has a groove on the rotor ... any ideas ? Only one wheel, rear left
is it possible to get to the grinding noise without ever ever hearing the typical squeaking worn brake pads make?
That’s what I got
Did you ever figure it out
@@gabegarcia7779 sorry so late, didn't see the notification. So, it was just worn out brakes and the noise was the brakes scratching the rotors. turns out the brakes that my car had, didn't come with the little clips that make the annoying squeaking sound. I never knew that brakes were sold without those. the scratching was very minimal in my case since I took it to a shop quickly after commenting.
I am at the grinding phase, but never noticed the squeaking sound.
Me too. My car never does the squeaking. I wonder if it is how I drive
My front brakes were changed a couple months ago (caliper, disc, pads) but I've got a squeaking issue when almost stopped. Is it glazing most likely. I haven't driven more than 5k miles and no hard braking.
Here is a condition I experienced. 1st off, 47yrs driving, I always do my own brake work. I installed Posi-quiet heavy duty metallic pads because my Sienna was not stopping well with the trailer loads I was pulling across NJ A few months after I finished trailering my brakes were lightly squeaking just rolling. The dust from the metallic pads rusted the caliper traveler pins to my calipers, causing my pads to constantly rub the rotor. I installed new caliper pin kits and POWER STOP Evolution ceramic pads last year. The pads cost $8 than Posi-quiet premium pads. The Evolution pads are designed to replace OEM They exceeded my expectations
What fantastic, clear explanations! I was looking for a better understanding of my brake pads Ihave just had changed and also my discs soon to be changed. I wanted to understand how they wear down and which parts exactly as I was given a photo of my brake discs I need to have changed soon. The sounds are a brilliant addition and you are just so clear in how you describe everything. THANK YOU!!!
I remember buying a car, I noticed a click sound, I thought they sold me messed up car. One day I smelled burned rubber after driving. I realized my brake pads were dangerously worn out.
This is exactly what I'm hearing. Can it cause drag on the vehicle too? I've started noticing a definite change in fuel consumption. I'm spending more trying to keep a full tank.
Nah that’s just Joe Biden 😂
1:18 for squeaking sound 6:36 for grinding sound
This was very educational. I'm trying to do repairs on my old SUV myself, and I didn't get the squeaking, just the grinding and ABS/Brake lights on. I planned to get help to do the brakes this weekend, but lost the brakes today. How hard is it to replace the rotor and pads? Also, how do you know which wheel the brakes needs the work? Or do you have to remove all and check each one?
Very easy. ua-cam.com/video/6RQ9UabOIPg/v-deo.html
Yes the sounds helped a lot I def have a grinding noise idk how my car isn’t even a year since I got it but def helped out a lot
Thank you for braking this down in detail 😁👍💯
Well played sir!
Good one! Oh stop it, ha, ha!
@@BudgetMechanicHawaii Hey bro I was able to come back to your video again for help and I just realized what I said in my first comment lol wasn't Intentional, however again thanks for the video's they help alot keep em coming 😁👍💯
Well… not sure how I missed the squeaking sound in my brakes.. but I very badly need new pads and rotors for sure
Hey does anybody know if Brake Rotor rust causes the squeaking sound too? I changed my brake pads but still squeaking sound persists.
Wow a video about car noise.... And he actually included the noises.. that's amazing.
The groaning sound occurring in the morning when first driving the vehicle could be due to the brakes being cold and possibly sticking slightly. As the brakes warm up and are used, the noise may diminish, which could explain why it disappears after driving for a short distance
Super impressed with this dude and how he delivered the information so that literally anybody can understand and identify the issue at hand! VERY well done my guy! hands down the best (and easiest) car fix vid ive seen to date!! u have a new subscriber and a like my friend. thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
I hear a creaking squealing sound in my Camry 2009 when I depress my brakes slowly. I just replaced my brake pads and resurfaced the rotor recently. What could the problem be?
Transmisson going out
I wanna go get that taco bell crunch wrap but i aint got no muny
Great video along with audio!
I’d recommend paying little more and getting the ceramic brake pads they hold up longer don’t shed any brake dust at all can withstand hot heat and heavy braking and match them with a high performance rotor
Helpful video. Simple but well explained. Very informative. Appreciate including the actual noise. 🎉
I like you provide how it sounds when is bad. We heard everything.
Super helpful! Looks like I need new pads.
So glad came across this video. That grinding is exactly how my rear driver wheel sounds but combine that with like a click. I have no idea what it is because we took the pads off and they looked fine. But it happened exactly how u said too one day jus fine the next all of a sudden while driving. The sound makes you freak out. I thought my whole tire was about to collapse.
Damn. My break pad is scraping the rotor, thank you for this
I have new brakes and rotors all the way around on a 2017 Dodge Journey and its still squeaking.
Yeah..that true,my sister car always making noise when reversing her car every morning,this problem last for years,after checking by a trusted mechanic,he find out the previous mechanic forgot the retainer clip on right side
I get like a squeaking noise after I slow down and let go off the brakes. I believe it is coming from the rear drum brakes. Any advice what it could be and why it wouldn’t happen when I brake but only when I ease of the brakes?
ive been getting really bad squeaking when i brake at low speeds, and in reverse. i think it might be the parking brake didnt get adjusted, and it seems like im having a glazing issue thing is i just replaced the rotors and pads, i cant seem to find the reason why im getting this. and yes my rear rotors are significantly shinier/smoother than my fronts. also my brake fluid change is due idk if that helps??
I got new pads and rotors and I get a slight grind sandpaper type of sound when in the brakes and going in reverse only. No vibrating grinding or noises when moving forward and on the brakes. Got about 500 miles on them and they still do this. Any advice?
I had my brake pads and rotors changed a few weeks ago and squeaking started a week after. Doesn’t start off when I start the car and drive, but a few minutes into driving the squeaking will start whenever I brake. Any idea of what it can be ?
If they didn’t get overheated from a long downhill etc, I would be inclined to think the brake hardware has drifted into the rotor or they need some silicone on back of the pads to quote them down maybe. Hard to say without being able to look at them
@@BudgetMechanicHawaii Hi HwRu? I had inner rods done & there's been a squeaking too afterwards. How do I determine if I need a caliber? What are the symptoms? I had got my car pulled & i stayed on the brakes the whole time not knowing & now there a loud annoying grinding noise while driving & stopping i was told its the caliber .can u help??
6:35 grinding noise
I got fresh breaks about a yr ago but it only squeeks when im backing up or pulling forward into a parking spot. I literally be going like 1mph when i press on the break
Someone tell me how I changed pads, caliper bracket and rotor and it still grinds
love your page and how clear your message is and you actually show us instead of just talking thank you !
Thanks for the comment
I'm quite sure my Volvo just needs a brake pad replacement....Thank you for that reassurance that my baby is okay Budget Mechanic 100%
I have a 2021 Chevy Trailblazer and the way you explained glazed break pads sounds like what I’m dealing with! I have taken my car to 4 Chevy dealers and a outside mechanic but they said everything is fine. I have loud squeaking/squealing noise mainly in the morning when I first drive my car.
Any update? My 21 impreza seems like it has glazing but I drive it normally
Thanks a lot, mate! Very detailed explanatin.
I've got an issue I can't figure out that you may be able to help me on. I bought a used 2008 Prius. It had the original brake pads and shoes, rotors and drums. It would brake fine with no noise. I do thorough maintenance when I buy used cars because hardly anyone else does... and the vehicle is in dire need of maintenance. Anyhow, I bought new rotors and drums, pads, and shoes because the pads and shoes were down to almost nothing and I might as well swap out the rotors and drums if I'm going to get new pads/shoes. I installed everything (I've done this many times on many vehicles) without issues. Now the front right sounds like metal on metal and it's all new parts... a scraping/grinding noise. Most noticeable at low speeds around town when stopping. I pulled everything apart and inspected and I don't see anything that would cause the noise and there isn't excessive wear out of the ordinary. Put it back together... same thing. I don't get it. Maybe the type of pad? The part store had several pads that would fit... I chose semi-metallic. Any insights would be greatly helpful... because the noise is annoying. Great video btw.
My brakes are making a sloshing/squeaking sound. Not sure if it's definitely my brakes, but it happens when I break. I took it to the mechanic, and they said that theres no water trapped anywhere, and the brake pads and routers are new, so they aren't making the noise. They also said my suspension looks fine. Do you have any idea what that could be?
I like your content. Thank you..
Thank you buddy. Very helpful.
Mahalo, from the 9th island (Las Vegas)😁🤙🏽
You are spot on, this is exactly what's going on with my vehicle. Thank you for sharing
My brakes don't grind or squeak at all when i apply them BUT if I come to a complete stop, immediately afterward, it's like I hear a noise as if the body of the car is making a gurgling noise in reaction to stopping. My dealer did a brake job with all the trimmings this past summer.
Whoa…from what area of the car?
@@BudgetMechanicHawaii the front. It's like it lets out a groan AFTER STOPPING as if it's not happy it had to stop after going a short distance at lower speeds. It makes no noise at all while slowing down, just at complete stops sometimes not always and I hear it at the front of the car. no vibrations either when braking. Its like a groan AFTER stopping as if the body of the car is protesting.
My car falls under the squeaking category without a doubt. I have drilled and slotted rotors in the front and regular rotors in the back. Rear rotors are brand new with about 1-2 Thousand miles (pads replaced at the same time). The front drilled and slotted rotors are a little older with about 5-6 Thousand miles (In great condition still) with pads I just recently replaced while attempting to diagnose my squeaking issue (around 500 or so miles on the new front pads). I took it to a maintenance crew that works on tractors and farm trucks and they could not figure it out so I took it to a professional shop where they also could not figure out what was causing the squeaking. WHAT I KNOW - I've addressed all the common issues that cause squeaking with no result, They squeak the loudest when coming to stop, they squeak while driving without any use of the brakes however it dose not do this all the time, They do NOT squeak after washing my car but will after 5-10 minutes of driving, I did not hear a single squeak sound after removing, inspecting, and cleaning all four rotors (0 issues found on all brake equipment) but they began to squeak again the next day. I'm not a professional, nor even close to one, but the only think I could think of causing the problem is the large amount of rust buildup in my rear driver side wheel from the rotor and pads that I waited way too long to replace 4 months ago. Could that rust start to accumulate in the rotor after a certain amount of use and is causing the squeak? It seems unlikely but its the only thing I can think of that is causing the problem.
Yes thanks SO much for including the sounds. This video was super helpful
Glad I could help 🤙🏽
This was an excellent presentation. I appreciate all the information you provided.
The brakes on my Mitsubishi RVR will squeak for the first few minutes of driving after a rainstorm. But then it stops. Also, the last two vehicles I've owned (Grand Caravan & RVR) both had a grinding noise for first few minutes of driving after sitting for a day or two. I'm in a humid area and I've always put this down to a build-up of rust on the rotors. Is this the wrong conclusion?
Bro. Super informative video. Solved my issue without having to ask a shop.
This video was just ALLLL AROUND GRREAT❗❗❗✨👌🏾🎯🎯🎯
I changed my front brake pads on my 2008 Honda Accord and I still here the grinding I only here it when coming to a complete stop tho idk if it’s the front or the back
Green jay ...Did u figure out why ?
I changed mine yesterday on my Honda accord n it's still grinding
Did you fix it? I'm having the exact same problem on the same car
@@AlipticAce turn out it’s the back breaks
@@greenjay3158 thank you so much. Life saver bro im going to go get them changed rn
How about a howling sound? After you wash your car and start driving it, it makes a howling sound initially but disappears quickly. I get that same sound but when I reverse after the car sits for a while. It goes away after using the brakes and then going reverse doesn't make that sound anymore.
Ok man , noticed today when i break lightly and gradually slow to halt there was a creaking sound that i could feel too . It comes and goes. Pads changed a month ago but maybe the disc is worn ? Noticed after taking my car out for a fairly fast blast to 125mph when i got home the creaking was much worse after hard braking . When i went out later the cŕeaking is minimal or not there at best . Glazing and worn discs ? Cheers
I would guess glazing yes
I think you answered my question! Grinding in the rear of a 2011 MINI COOPER S R60 I just got and the pads have plenty of meat! The previous owner must have ridden the ebrake!
Getting new pads to see if it goes away. Thank you!
I get a rotational rubbing or ticking sound when accelerating from my rear brakes, hopefully some new pads will fix the issue 😃
Did it fix your issue bro that is happening to my car as well it squeaks whenever I drive and go over bumps sounds even worse 😂
@@Dak298er yoo.. this is my problem now too 😭 it squeaks when i press on the brakes and where i live, they recently installed these ugly speed bumps so.. sometimes going over them makes the whole car squeak and if i go over them too roughly, the ticking noise starts when i accelerate.. 😩
Idk if it's my brakes but, I don't hear noises while braking until I reverse and cut the wheel. I hear a scraping sound coming from the rear of the car, it's a 07 rav4 so idk if it has brakes for front and back.
I would look at those rear brakes!
@@BudgetMechanicHawaii yea they are a bit rusted, one of the calipers in the back is scraping , it's 4wd/awd so it has brakes on all four tires, super safe suv.
Need your help.customer got his brake and rotors changed on his 2015 gl550.with after market parts.noise never went away.i got him to bring genuine mercedes pads.1st days was good.now noise is back as soon as he touches brake pedal noise comes
I learned early in my wrenching career, even before I earned my Master Certification that 90% of brake squeak is due to unlubricated metal moving parts touching each other.
The ONLY lubricant used in brake parts is silicon grease. Apply it to any metal part that contacts another metal part and your brakes will not squeak.
(A brake squeak is a high frequency vibration. That’s all!)
As far as “glazing,” easily prevented by scuffing pads or shoes with abrasive pad. AND new disc or fresh drums get the same treatment.
Then “set” the braking surfaces by repeated stop and starts…not slamming the brakes, but smooth, aggressive application of the pedal force. The idea is to heat them up…but not too hot!
(Former ASE Master Certified, Ford Certified, Porsche Cars North America Certified…now retired and am the laziest man in the universe.)
Thanks for the insights!
Hi just need someone's opinion, my car does the squeaky sound that would indicate the break pads are almost done. It's specifically happening when starting the car in the morning, reversing out of the garage, then it stops and we can't hear it again.
We've been replacing them very regularly (too often for the nb of k's we're doing, like every 10k we have to change them). Could there be a mechanical cause for wearing the break pads quicker than normal ? if they're not aligned properly or something like that ?
Left a like for giving me confirmation it was my pads
Thank you for actually helping and not being a loser tryna get views very insightful clear instructions with different causes and effects for certain noises 10/10 appropriate you
I'm actually kind of pissed because I had a Rochester trip thankfully all highway miles the other day and my bricks just started to make this noise
Great informative video. Thanks Josh!
Hi mate. Installed new rotors and front pada yesterday. However i notice squeaking when i run the car without breaking. My new rotor seem to have scratches that I can feel withmy nails. What could be causing it?
Thanks for this. I think I need to have my brakes checked.
Brand new pads. Brand new rotors. Sqeaks early morning cold start very LOUD when reversing smh. Gonna have fun figuring this out 😂😡🤦🏽♂️. Also the car stops so much slower & weaker than my previous set. Do everything right at the same time & still have issues lol ahhh!!!!! Never buying this brand again I bet it’s the pads…..R1 Concepts
now this is how u explain stuff to people who dont know. now i know the 2nd one is my current issue. so pads are gone and rotors may need replacement , im getting the scraping sound.
Mine were grinding loud as fuuck! I was scared and got them replaced finally. I hadn’t changed the pads/rotors since I got the car 7 years and 71,000 miles ago 😬. Lesson learned.
How much was it
@@mfjeek $670
4:16 you are wrong about once your rotors are glazed. You have to replace them. I have over heated my pads deliberately several times and the pads stopped fine. After they cooled down. Shops tell people this bs to get them to replace parts. Before you tell me I don’t know what I’m talking about. I have more videos of me installing brakes than you do.
I heat a squeeking sound when im 20 minuts into driving, it goes away when i brake or lifting the hand brake (as a test)
The brake pads are brand new. What could benthe problem here?
Super helpful.thanks!
What should you do if you have contaminants on your brake pads such as dust or after a rainfall? I only get the squeaking noise after a dusty road or after it rains.
What would cause a scraping sound to occur intermittently and go away when brakes are applied?
The front brakes on my jeep with lock up after I lifted it without putting longer brake lines on…. What happened? Was it stretches your brake line and pieces break off inside and then clog the line like a check valve holding pressure in the caliper. Learned a lot that day.!!
My transit has scraping noise when breaking, rear near side. Changed the pads & my mechanic said disc are OK, they look rusty maybe he couldn't be bothered to change them 🤔
On my 2003 Toyota Corolla I apply my brakes and it has a grinding noise, but at times I apply the brakes then the grinding noise goes away!! Why??
Chile Josh I was so busy looking at you I was trying to listen to what you was saying but whew Chile you’re hot 🥵 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 but thank you for the video very IMFORMATIVE
Thanks for the information. I just had my break pads changes 2 weeks ago, I believe the guy probably did a rush job and my car in making that noise.
Drum brakes can be a nightmare.
Especially if it’s allll rusty and crusty under that drum. I’d wear thick gloves and safety glasses working with rust…
Yah.
