Default Grinding Brakes..

Hey Guys,

I have been having this issue with my 2007 F150's new set of brakes grinding at slow speed around 15 km/h or less. The grinding is most noticeable at slow speeds and turning usually in parking lots. I had changed all 4 rotors and all new brake pads recently with premium rotors and pads approx 5,000 km ago and shortly after install they started grinding. At first it seemed the brake pads just needed to be worked in a bit but at this point I'm not sure what the issue is. The truck brakes fine and there is no noticeable scratches on the new rotors that would suggest my pads are not wearing properly?? What do you guys think this issue is?

You sure you are not hearing an IWE issue ? While it's making noise "pop" it into 4 hi and see if the noise goes away.

No, puting it into 4WD does not fix the issue

Do you have a limited slip rear end? Could it be the clutch packs in the rear end? Has the symptoms. Did you have anything done to the rear end? Are you 100% it wasn't there before the brake work? Limited slip clutch problems are most noticeable going slow around a corner.
