When i was driving 2day, i noticed a weird grinding/water pressure noise (cant realli describe) when i start braking doen a hill....it happen very little on straight roads...not sure what it is....it sounds like its from tha drivers side ...

I just changed brake pads 200 miles weeks ago...can that be the problem???

Please tell me what it is!

if it sounds like water gurgling that usually means your brake pads are glazed.
just get a hi speed and scouff the pads. also make sure you dont get grease on the pads.

You could do the same thing as unglazing a clutch and drag the pads for a while..

If they're new pads they need to be bedded in properly, especially if they are high performance pads. Go to a deserted road and make repeated stops from speed (8-10) gradually increasing in speed from about 30mph to maybe 60mph. Never drag the brakes and don't hold them on after you stop, and afterwards use the brakes as little as possible to allow them to cool down, and when you park DO NOT use the parking brake, unless the brakes are cold. If you do use the parking brake when the brakes are hot you can warp your rotors. That may take care of the problem. Did you take the rotors off? If you did that might be the problem. What happens is if you don't properly clean up the surfaces of the wheel hub and the backside of the rotor hat you will get some weird noises from the rust and crap back there (trust me I've seen it first hand on someone esle's car).

so do i make regular stops or hard stops?
