I am back again about this darn car. So, I got new brakes, pads, rotors in June. 2 weeks ago I got new calipers and now I hear that rubbing again when I step on the brake. The person that fixed it heard the rubbing after he checked but can't find the problem.
I asked someone else and he said it's because of the after market pads, he said I should have factory pads.
The rest is just guessing now even thinking of wheel bearings, abs and I don't know what else. I don't believe those last 2 things. I was told the brakes were bled because that may have been doing it but it's still doing it.

yes possible wheel bearing, or have lower ball joints checked, when driving on a straight road (like highway) if you slightly turn wheel left or right...do you hear a low growling/hum noise? if so that is a wheel bearing problem, this may be bad enough that you also hear it when braking, also cheaper aftermarket pads will do this too, and also if a brake caliper is sticking it can groan also. many things to look at...best thing to do is go to a chrysler dealer and most dealerships will send a mechanic out with you for a road test to listen to this noise if you ask them to do so. this will give you a heads up on the problem, good luck.

Try this, Get out on the highway with no one behind you and come to a sudden stop from about 59- 60 mph with out skidding the tires. Do this 3 times. Disc brakes are bad about getting dust between the pads and rotors, which usually sets up a squealing noise. Yours may be having the same problem. If you get them hot enough by breaking as described, it will burn off the dust. If you still have the noise after wards, you need to have it checked out. Good luck.

So exactly where did the parts you used in your Chrysler come from? If they are aftermarket, most parts come from China these days, they may meet minimum requirements, but I find they pale in comparison to actual OEM parts, again in most cases. Rubbing noise is a pretty darn general explanation of what you are hearing. When the pads were installed, did the mechanic apply a noise dampening liquid that helps reduce brake noise? Disc brake quiet is one brand name product that can help an owner live with sub-optimal parts.

if they used a cheap pad on it that will cause this to happen,they should have put a synthetic brake pad on it that probably would have stopped that from happening,it may eventually stop doing it on its own ,but if it doesn't you will have a choice of changing the pads again or turning up the radio,it isn't going to hurt anything,but have another shop check this just to verify that's whats causing this,the may find something the other shop missed,good luck with it.
