brakes

[fullyford]

well i think the big tires finally wore my brakes out, i am getting a grinding noise when the brake is applied, haven''t pulled it apart yet to confirm but i am sure thats what the problem is. so where can i get the best deal on some brakes, i think i will probly have to do the rotors this time as well, they have never been done and the truck has 265k on it. only problem is $$ is alittle tight with these lay offs. give me some thoughts guys

ok so i just took the wheel off the passenger side and guess what, its not the brakes, wheel bearing, so i guess i have to get one of those now, brakes would have been cheaper lol.

Warranty... lol Hope it doesnt cost too much

warrenty lol not on a 11 year old truck. i found a hub for $113, but have to wait till monday to get it, as they were closing when i phoned

May as well do both bearings if you can afford it the other most likely wont be far behind

actually the driver side was done about 2 years ago, i have kind of been waiting for this one to go

i guess i am doing brakes after all, the inside pad on the driver side has nothing on it, after test driving the new wheel bearing, this awful grinding noise started and i knew right away what it was

i did the brakes on the explorer (fronts) and it was under $200 with monroe premium stuff from canadian tire, dont know if its good quality but has a warrenty liftime ? at least thats what they claim. If you go this route double check the boxes when they come in somehow they ordered one right rotor and one from another year explorer
