Need to Replace my Brakes and rotors. The wear indicator has been going off for a few weeks now when i'm in drive and going forward. There is also a loud Whine I hear when I am backing up, is that the wear indicator as well?


It seems to be coming from my back driver side tire, so I would more than likely replace all 4 pads and rotors. Is the Whining im hearing when I back up attribute to the brakes?




Anybody have How-to Videos and a decent place to buy the pads and rotors. I have the equipment I just need to know what to purchase.

 

i use autozone's duralast cmax gold pads and rotors!
great stuff!

Are the two sounds im hearing both related to the brakes? They are two different sounds. One when going forward is definitely a wear indicator, but when in reverse it is a entirely different noise. As I explained, more of a whining

 

an inspection of the brakes is needed.
we can speculate on "what if or maybe this is the cause" but until some one actually physically looks at them, it can be any thing.

the rear whining COULD be the wear indicator, or it could be something bent and only audible when in reverse. it could be a lot of things.
