Crunching sound from brakes

[PoppaJ]

hey guys so I’m freaking out a little, not sure what’s up but every time I brake at low speeds my passenger side brake sounds like it’s grinding and crunching. Drove through a snow storm to get home yesterday and locked up a few times, just started this morning. Not sure if I need new brake pads or what, just moved to apartments in KC (and a very poor college student because my job suddenly just dropped my hours like a hot cup of coffee) so can’t really lift my car and check or anything but it was fine up until today when I took off for class.

Can’t upload a video, I’ll try to upload it to YouTube in the morning and link it.

There it is, decided to just do it tonight in case any early birds see it before I’m up lol

Do you feel anything in the steering wheel or brake pedal when that noise happens?

Both, going to grab new pads when I’m off work tonight. Guess I’m skipping school to try and replace them in the morning

There was a tsb for this for gen 4 SHOs. Yeah, replace rotors and pads.

TSB?

I have the performance pack, would this change what brakes I need? The lady at auto zone was trying to sell me the police pack pads over the phone but I wasn’t sure

Yeah I have a 2013PP I don’t think the pads are painted, not sure. I’m just looking for the cheapest ones right now to get me by for a few weeks until I have money to get some good ones. I’m afraid I’m gonna have to replace a rotor too, may just go all out once I have the funds and get some slotted ones

Meant calipers lol

 

[PoppaJ]

Nope, this is what I have

I think that is just a designation, however odd. I believe the "painted" refers to the butterfly/daisy wheels.

Someone at Ford knows what "painted" means, but it's not anyone that needs to know, you know?
