Brake noise with new pads

Post by Joe315 »

I just installed new brake pads and rotors on my 2003 XC-70. The drivers side front is making a swishing noise at low speeds. Does anyone have any ideas what may be causing this? I checked for clearances and everything looks fine will this go away as the pads and the rotor wear in with each other?

Depends on a lot of factors....which pads and rotors did you install? Did you break them in properly?
