I was driving my car around last night, and all of a sudden when i apply my breaks I hear scratching sound coming from my rear, I was thinking my pads had went into my rotors, but I checked them, all 4 and there all fine. So my issue is what could it be. It almost time to replace the rears, but i know i have some time before they go bad.
Whats causeing that sound?

They might have a few miles left on them, but I bet the noise is coming from the wear indicator on the pad. If it's not that, check to see if a rock or something got caught in there.

Sounds like they're toast, or they have some material caught in them.

 

Its your squealers. Their for people who doesnt check their brakes, to let them know- its time for a change.
