2012 Kia Forte. A while back the brakes started squeaking when I would stop so I assumed it was the wear indicators. After a while I bought everything to change the brakes. Took all 4 wheels off and they all had a good 3/4 pad left. I hosed them down with brake cleaner for good measure and sure enough, no more squeaks. Sent the parts back.
Fast forward a bit. Squeal returns. Now sometimes I can hear a bit of a grinding noise, but more brake noise than a nasty grind. (brakes on this have never been silent) However every once in a while, like at extremely slow speed it has a really gnarly metal on metal grinding sound. One example was I was leaving a parking lot. Came to a stop behind another car, no grind. rolled forward to the edge of the road when the car ahead left and it sounded awful. Next stop sounded normal except for the squeal. (can really only hear the squeal when windows are down)
Any ideas? Its not always grinding, and when it does it its almost always at slow speed.
Any suggestions for a shop on the SW side? Or even Mooresville? I hate to take it to one of the chains like Car-x. I typically do them myself, but in weird situations where it isnt a cut and dried swapping of parts I prefer to let an expert do it so I dont screw it up more.
