Changed brake pads and now they make a grinding noise.?

I just put new brake pads on my car and I also turn the rotors but now they make a grinding noise when I am not stepping on the brake pedal. I also bleed the brake lines.



What could be causing this?

change the rotors....

also spray on some brake cleaner to rid of any debris or rust.



Depending on the quality of the pads it may grind for sometime as they are new.



Find a quiet street and heat your brakes up by accelerating and making hard stops by pumping on the brakes..do this for a few minutes.

Are they on correctly? Maybe dirt or crud caught between pad and rotor. Take a look before damage happens,
It's because the mexican put them on wrong.
DIY and no idea what you are doing or what to look for. Replace the rotors , don`t machine them. Rotors are so cheap that its not worth turning them. Also you may have left something loose. take it all apart and see what you missed. And let me know where you live , so I can stay away
The only thing that comes to mind is loose caliper bolts. Check them and make sure they're tight.
You bought the wrong brake pads! You could bleed the brake lines for a week but it won't stop semi-metallic of full metallic brake pads from grinding the surfaces off the brake rotors. Today's automobiles have ceramic pads which are quieter, cleaner and will not destroy brake rotors.



The only thing you might try is removing the brake pads and clean both sides with CRC Brake Cleaner. Coat the steel side of each brake pad with an .090 thickness of CRC Brake Quiet. This product is a high temperature silicone RTV compound that remains flexable to stop brake harmonics or noise. NAPA and Carquest has these products.
