Yaris T-Sport Grinding Sound When Braking - New Brakes?

[lee_ts51]

Hi all!

Been a while since I posted anything here.

Right, I have noticed that when braking hard there is a grinding noise coming from the front brake (driver's) side. But, when I am in motion and just need to slow down, and touch the brake slightly, there is no noise. The grinding only occurs when I need to press on the brake really firmly.

I'm pretty certain that I need to replace the front brake pads but I just wondered if it's anything to do with the ABS or anything more serious?

Thanks

Check the pads first and then anything else around the caliper area asap Lee

Turned out it was the pads. Had them replaced and the grinding noise has gone!

Hooray!

My T-Sport lives again!
