why is my Genesis G70 making a grinding noise when I brake

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts required for the brake inspection and repair.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and securely lifted using jack stands.
• Disconnect the battery (optional but recommended for safety).

2. Remove Wheel

• Use a lug wrench to loosen the lug nuts while the vehicle is on the ground.
• Raise the vehicle with a jack and secure it on jack stands.
• Remove the lug nuts and take off the wheel to access the brake components.

3. Inspect and Replace Brake Pads

• Use a caliper tool to compress the caliper piston if necessary.
• Remove the caliper bolts using a socket set and carefully lift the caliper off the rotor.
• Remove the old brake pads; check for uneven wear or damage.
• Install new brake pads, ensuring they are aligned correctly.
• Reattach the caliper and tighten the bolts to the manufacturer's torque specifications.

4. Inspect and Replace Brake Rotors (if necessary)

• Check the rotor surface for grooves or warping; measure thickness with a micrometer.
• If the rotors are damaged, remove them by unscrewing the retaining screws if applicable.
• Install new rotors and ensure they are properly seated on the hub.
• Clean the rotor surface with brake cleaner to remove any grease or contaminants.

5. Reassemble and Test

• Reattach the wheel and hand-tighten the lug nuts.
• Lower the vehicle and then tighten the lug nuts to the manufacturer's torque specifications.
• Reconnect the battery (if disconnected) and pump the brake pedal to ensure proper pressure.
