well my car when i brake hard is making a really bad grinding noise in the pasenger side tire, my brkes are brand new and my rotors look fine, when i brake hard and even let go of the brake it will make grinding noise for a little and it will go away, the guy at autozone told me that its my wheel bearings,
do you guys think he is right? and if he do i need any special tools to do this swap...........thanks guys

I also have a perfectly good one that I replaced when it turned out I needed brake pads. The bearing and hub assembly is a sealed unit that dosen't normally go bad. You don't have separate wheel bearings like in older cars. They are very easy to change, just 4 bolts, no greasing, just take the old one off and put the new one on. Just remove the wheel and rotor and it's right there, pretty self-explanatory. But look for a different cause of the noise before you change them.

yea my dad told me had the same problem he had on his gm but it was the little metal plates that go before the brake pads on the caliper and that was rubbing on the rotor so im taken them off see what happens

grab your tire at 12 and 6 and if shake top to bottom if the wheel has a lot of play you could have a bad wheel hub

davidadavila

yea did that already and they are good no play at all thats why im leaning towards something else, im tke those thin metal tabs tomarrow and drive see what the deal is

rear rotors aren't really any more difficult than fronts.

Keep the rotors you have. Just flip the pad and go.

I was having the same problem as you. It turned out it was my rear brake pads. When I went to change them the inner pad had the wear indicator bent backwards. Also had to replace my rotors because of it. I bought my car from the stealership and assume they did it. I wouldnt put anything past them if thats who you bought your car from
