So I was recently cut off before stopping at a red light on a rainy day, so i was forced to jack up on the brakes. So now every time after that my brakes have been grinding. I looked all around and the right rear rim has rust on it, which started when the noise started. My brake pads and rotor both look good. Any ideas?

 

I can also take pictures and post them on here if that would possibly help.

 

Is it a heavy grinding noise or more like tin riding against an uneven cast surface?

The clips that the pads mount into on the caliper bracket can get rust behind them and push into the rotor.

 

It's a heavy grinding noise but it's only noticeable when the brake pedal is pushed 3/4-all the way down.

 

 

The links to the pictures goes to a page that is reported as harmful... You may want to get a different image host...

From the thumbnails, it looks like your rotors are SHOT!

 

Sorry about that. I ended up replacing the rotors and pads, and now everything is good.
