Troubleshooting & Technical Issues / Grinding/Crunching Brakes

« on: 27, July, 2011, 09:29:01 AM »

Hello,

Recently i have noticed when coming to a stop the pedal feels like its crunching/grinding. I can feel it in the pedal.

Its since i changed the cv boots at weekend. But now realised it needs a new driveshaft, i was hoping to grease it up and a new boot on it.

Also when it does this a light comes on the dash (looks like skid marks) it stays on for the entire journey. Last time i saw this light it was rear abs sensor.

Nothing in the discs and pads.

What could it be?

Driveshaft, abs sensor?

Also i would like to add i have tried the search button
