Bad Brakes...

Ive always heard a slight noise from my brakes. but never anything bad. a couple days ago, i heard this grinding noise when braking. i figured it was time to get some new brake pads. maybe a new disc. but the grinding has gotten real bad all of sudden and its only been just a couple days. its got to the point where im hearing a noise even when im not braking. its not the same grinding noise but its something ive never heard before.

do yall think it could be something other than just the brake pads/disc? didnt think brake pads got so bad in just a couple days.

More than likely thats what it is. You also have a small set of shoes in the back for the foot-brake. I know mine are bad and need to be replaced.

Sounds like you wore the pads down to a point where a caliper is sticking out and causing the pads to drag all of the time.
