Brakes still grinding

70

Asked by Foshizzlemanizzle Sep 22, 2018 at 05:42 PM about the 2002 Mercury Mountaineer AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I changed the brake pads, rotors and
one of the calipers that was leaking.
The lines weren't bled, but after a
couple days my pedal came back to
normal. Not though, the brakes are
grinding again when I stop and it's
making a kind of whirling sound, I
hear it sometimes.

Yes pads are facing the right way. It’s odd the noise sounds kinda of “heavy” if that makes sense. Like when I’m driving I feel it in the petal, gas petal like it’s dragging but I don’t know. There’s probably a whole bunch wrong with it. Could it be the e brake is stuck?
