I have a '96 Disco and not too long ago I had the rear brakes / rotors replaced (60K miles). According to the dealer, the front ones were OK and they didn't need to be replaced. This was done like 800 to 1,000 miles ago. Then I started noticying that my brakes started to squeak as I slowly apply the brakes. If I press hard (or harder) on the brakes, then they don't make a sound.
I took it back to the dealer to see if there was a problem and they said they were dirty and they needed to be cleaned but they were "above specs." The squeaking went away for about a month then it came back. I only drive the Disco twice a week (I have a company car the other time) so it doesn't get used a lot. Is it rust or something els building up?
Also, I've noticed that when I was 4-wheeling this weekend, I sensed / heard a "rubbing" on the front brakes as if they were "slipping" -- however, the brakes seem to work just fine on and off the road.
I am planning to take it back to the dealer but I wanted to hear some advise as to what might be causing this problem before I went back.
Thanks. |
