Aries Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 I have 2015 Journey, with a 2.4L. The only time you can hear it, is when I'm at a cruising speed. You don't hear the noise when you accelerate or de-accelerate, and or turn left or right. I jacked up the car, and there's no play on the tire (grab it try to move it up and down, right and left). Transmission fluid is full, not burnt and shifts no problem,,, and no vibration when I brake. I changed the front rotors and pads 5 mouths ago.

5rebel9 Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 When did the "grinding noise" start, before or after doing the brakes? Check the dust shields, they can bend and scrape the rotor pretty easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aries Posted December 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 (edited) After I did the brakes,, noise just started 3 days ago,, I'm going to check the brakes tomorrow,,, Edited December 7, 2020 by Aries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 grinding noise usually are brakes, if you done the frt 5 months ago and just now hearing the noise shouldn't be that sound travels sometimes check your rears as well, since no mention on the miles... My daughters jeep wrangler rear brake pads wore out before the front ones at 30 k, and fronts went bad around 60 k, also their was no sign of the brakes dragging or wearing funny just one of thoes things i guess,,,could be a bearing going bad but that is more of a whine than grinding...please report back on what you find out for others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aries Posted December 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 79,000 kms,,,,,, it's definitely is coming from the front,,, I hear it if I'm driving 10 kms per hour and as well as 100 kph,,,, but I will check the rears too. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. might have caught a rock or something between the frt pads that has caused some damage, could be a frt wheel bearing as well ..so you hear at low speeds as well as cruising speeds?check your alt, and belt tensioner bearings as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
probak118 Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Just my $ 0.02 Wheel bearings to me seem more of a steady low hummmm noise when a constant cruising speed Tensioner pulley / alternator pulley more of a ticking / grind noise as bearings are moving around - open the hood you will know where the noise is from immediately Grinding sure sounds like brake parts, is there a chance you re- installed the brake pad clips backwards, been there and done that. The little tab is pointing towards the rotor and just rubbing it ? i heard a soft grind and noticed a fine line starting on the rotor, turned the clip around, problem went away. just something else to verify.

Aries Posted December 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 So on passenger side,,, the pad that was on the outside, I put that pad on the inside, pretty much switch the the pads around!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
probak118 Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 By re-assembling them to me means you corrected an original assembly issue perhaps ? I cant see simply how switching break pad positions making any difference alone, they don't have designated positions. Does not matter now, issue fixed, glad to hear it.

Summer Solstice Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 Might have gotten a brake pad just a little cocked and wedged and it did not slide freely. It happens. Hope that is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 he said he replaced the brakes 5 months ago and then a few days ago they started making the grinding noise ( After I did the brakes,, noise just started 3 days ago,, I'm going to check the brakes tomorrow) i would assume he had gotton a rock or something caught between the rotor and the pad to cause the noise after 4 3/4 months of normal braking without sound, who knows...LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aries Posted December 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 Well,, so far so good,,, no issues or grinding noises,,,,,, the sliders were full of gunk,,,, maybe that was it,,,, probak118 and 2late4u 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
