Re: Slight grinding/binding of front brakes
You can kinda inspect your rotors by looking thur the wheels and checking for grooves or wear on the rotor. If it looks smooth its probably just rust or possible dirt. Did you do some off roading ? If it continues you might want to have them checked. Not much help, just a couple ideas, See ya bro,,,

Re: Slight grinding/binding of front brakes
My brakes made some seriously freaky noises going down Hells Gate in Moab. Very much like you just described. I think it's normal for the type of pad. But jeez, it was horrendous!

Re: Slight grinding/binding of front brakes
You might have a little oil soaked into the pads or caliper seepage.
Check for wear on the pads
check rotor condition
check mounting hardware (is it tight?)
let us know what you find.

Re: Slight grinding/binding of front brakes
I havent did any off roading for a few weeks(and it was light),rotors look good from what I can see in driveway.I did notice after it rained the next day rotors are rusty.Its very light grinding(intermitant) just before it come to a stop the wife was worryed so Ill pull the wheels off on the lift and take a look.If it continues Ill bring it to the dealer.

Re: Slight grinding/binding of front brakes
"Grinding" may be a problem, but when they're wet and they make a low sound (much like moving a large piece of furnture with rubber stoppers underneath) when coming to a stop, that sounds normal for this system...

Re: Slight grinding/binding of front brakes
Usually its rained within 24 hours of doing it.It only did it to me once it was very slight.It did it to wife several times ,figured couldnt hurt to take a look.I dont want anything to happen to her
12,000 miles and counting
With the 442 if I hit the brakes hard over 50mph I go slideways
