Auto integra. Recently when I drive at normal speed 30-40mph and come to a stop, I hear a crunchy or interrupted Rubbing sound when I applied the brake pad, NO squeeks, just the sound I mentioned. Last time I changed my brake pad was a few years ago, keep in mind that my teg is Auto.

Can someone help out?

 

Does your steering wheel shake at all? Kinda sounds like warped rotors...

 

check your pads....they may be totally worn to the metal backing

 

More than likely you just need new brake pads.

 

well, It only happens when I drive at a normal speed. If I drive fast and apply brake, I really don't hear it. maybe it's that it's too noisy when I drive fast in traffic. Stopping isn't a problem, It will stop when I hit the brake, just the fact that it's making this wierd rubbing sound when I apply the brake slowly intermitenly in slow driving... rubbing against something.

any more comment?
thanks

Check your brake pads. That'll only take you a few minutes. Take off the wheels so you can check each inboard pad, too.

 

I drove the car today. problem still happened but the steering wheel doesn't shake. as for taking off the wheel and check my front brake pads, What do I look for to know that I need to replace them? thanks

I don't have a good picture to post. Find a repair manual for your car (at the library?) & look up brakes. Maybe one of your friends works on his car & would show you...

The pads are the things that press against the rotor (disk). There's one inside & one outside at each wheel, and they are made of a steel plate with friction material. The friction material wears away, and when you have less than maybe 1 or 2mm thick you replace them.
