    Traction control questions??

    This is my first winter with my 1998. I was wondering in the snow should there be a grinding noise when the traction control kicks in???? Almost like the rotor kicks a little and hits the pads.

    Front brake question 1998

    I replaced my front rotors and pads about 16000 ago. Should the front pads squeek the entire time? I'm guessing no, and now the fronts are grinding a little. I'm going to replace the pads again tomorrow in the freezing cold. We'll see what happened. Anyone else have this problem?
