Break Issue?

[algy]

Synopses: I’ve got about 18,000 miles on these brakes. When braking at various speeds from 15 – 70 mph, brakes work well, no sounds and the braking system is very responsive.

Problem: When braking in quick brake situations the vehicle slows depending on the amount of pressure applied; however, there is a short grinding sound right before I come to a complete stop. It only occurs if I apply additional pressure before coming to a complete stop. The sound emits from the front brakes and I’ve had this problem for about 2 months now. I checked the disks, there does not appear to be any scaring or cutting into the disk.

Thoughts?

Theres a few threads on this . If I lube the rear brackes at every tire rotation it stays away.Although I think I hear it now and then.

F5 put this up on the X forum

Subject: Brakes Grunt, Groan, Grinding Noise from Rear When Vehicle Comes to a Stop (Refinish Rear Rotors) #07-05-23-004 - (09/26/2007)
Models: 2006-2008 HUMMER H3

Condition
Some customers may comment on a grunt, groan or grinding noise coming from the rear of the vehicle when coming to a stop.

Cause
Rotor corrosion generates a slip-stick condition transferring vibration through the suspension.

REPLACE THE ROTORS ONLY IF THE ROTOR THICKNESS IS BELOW THE MINIMUM THICKNESS SPEC AFTER REFINISH.

Refinish the rear rotors by removing 0.4 mm from both rear rotor surfaces.

Do not replace the brake pads unless the condition requires it (i.e. excessively worn, damaged, or contaminated).

If the noise persists, a brake dampening compound may be applied to the back of each pad. This allows parts to slide freely and not vibrate when moving relative to each other.

Thanks 442 and F5, Prior to posting I did a few searches on Brakes and did not find this thread... obviously do to my lack of spelling the search criteria correctly.

I'll bring this up w/ the dealer and print of F5's documentation to limit the dealer from take me for a ride... if, that is indeed the problem I am experiencing.
