Brake Grind

Hoping for a simple answer!! Front brakes grind on hard braking like they are worn down to metal on metal. Checked for stones in pads/on calipers. Nothing! Pads have lots of life left on them. Cleaned up parts with compressed air, and reassembled. Still grinds on hard braking. Ideas?

RE: Brake Grind

Hi, are both side of the discs in good condition? Not spotted or corroded.

RE: Brake Grind

One side of the pads on the drivers side looked like it wasin slightlyrougher shape than the others,but not exessive. All 4 pads are the same thickness.Some brake pad material in the center groove, but nothing that I thought was exessive.Would it be a good idea to roughen the surface of the pads with emery in an attemptto "unglaze" them?
