Default Grinding sound when braking

Hi All,

Just bought one a few weeks ago and have started to notice a grinding noise under braking from 30mph+, it starts around 10mph. Seems to be coming from the rear passenger side. It doesn't happen all the time and its just had the big 4yr service so not too sure.....any one have any thoughts?

Thanks

"Grinding sound when braking"

Did you check your brakes? Pads? Rotors?

Seems that would be the obvious solution.

Sounds like the brake pad wear indicator.

Or you got a rock stuck in the pad.

or perhaps the pad stud isn't seated in the piston groove.
