NO: 05-05-98
GROUP: Brakes
DATE: Oct. 9, 1998
SUBJECT:
Brake Grind Or Growl Sound
MODELS:
1998 - 1999 (DN) Durango
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
Brake grind or growl sound coming from the front brakes during low speed braking (less than five mph (eight kph)). These sounds will usually be heard
during light to moderate brake applications and from speeds from zero to five (5) miles per hour (8 kph). During braking, these sounds will be
characterized by:
^
Growl/grind noise that may be accompanied by squeal
^
Low frequency grinding noise that may be accompanied by pedal pulsation
^
Steering wheel and seat vibration (in extreme conditions)
NOTE:
NO REDUCTION IN BRAKING ABILITY OR PARTICULAR DAMAGE TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM WILL RESULT FROM THESE NOISES.
DIAGNOSIS:
1.
Drive the vehicle on a smooth surfaced road in an area away from heavy traffic and high surrounding noise.
2.
Make several stops from a moderate speed to generate some heat within the brake system.
3.
Accelerate to 15-20 mph (24-32 kph), then apply moderate pressure to the brake pedal until the vehicle comes to a stop.
4.
If a grinding/growling noise is coming from the front brakes perform the Repair Procedure. If there is no noise, drive the vehicle for several miles
(kilometers) with minimal brake applications to allow the brake system to cool or park the vehicle until the brakes cool, then repeat Steps 2 and 3
again. If the grinding/growling noise is now coming from the front brakes, perform the Repair Procedure.
