Hello,
My girlfriend was having all kinds of brake noises and grinding and left it alone for a long time. I was pretty sure it wasn't the break pads and it wasn't. I recommended to swap out the rear rotors as they seemed pretty rusted. Still hearing the noise on one side. On the pathfinder she has this metal thing that contracts and expands the shoes and I think that's the problem. I turned it per supposed specifications but if it's still grinding (no longer squealing, also replaced break pads) should I contract them more or expand them? If you have any other ideas I appreciate any help you can provide. Not sure how I can tell if the shoes are bad.
Man at this point your going to have to take it to a good shop and have them look at it with so much new and its still making those noises Idk where to begin recommending anything. Have a pro check it out and see what they recommend. GL dude
