Is it the rotors? Grinding noise, and sqealing brakes.
Sorry, this is a duplicate post. I originally put this in the general mustang chat. Figured I'd move it here to be more specific.
Now that I have the pin striping fixed (keyed car), I need to figure out my new noise. About a month ago, I came here trying to figure out the noise coming from the front of the car. It was the wheel bearings.
Now I have a grinding noise coming from the rear. Its got about 65k miles on it. The brakes have been squealing for over a year now. I took the car in last year, and they said they couldn't see any problems with the brakes, and it never made the noise for them.
But now its making a slight grinding noise. It was noticeable only when making left hand turns. But now is noticeable while coasting slowly.
Guessing this is a rotor problem? Would it fix the squealing too with the brakes?

You need to replace the pads and possibly rotors.

Is a novice self-install possible? I'm good at simple things, and figuring out stuff. Replaced the cold air intake myself. (gave myself a pat on the back for that one. heh)
But I know nothing about brakes. I was thinking that I'd just order a kit online. Now that they probably need to be replaced, was thinking about getting a better performing set than the stock ones.

Yeah, you need a disc brake caliper wind back tool. You can rent it at Auto Zone. A friend of mine just replaced my rotors and it was a pain in the ***, just because we didn't realize we needed that specific tool. Once we got it, things were much easier on the rear.
