grinding noise under hard braking?

[devilman2075]

today i heard once again for the 4-5 time a grinding noise when i was braking hard...a school bus came around a bend and guy in front slowed down quick road was pretty dry but had a few puddles....might have slipped a little but under the braking it definitely was grinding...i applied the clutch before breaking and i think i did every time i heard it...i am new to manual tranny is it the clutch being applied thats causing a grinding

u either hit a lil pothole or its just the abs. when u floor the peddle it grains like that. if its everytime u got problems my door panels make noise when i drive or listen 2 music. idk how 2 fix it i did everything i could. they look loose. does urs?

it sounds like that is just a ABS, it kicks in fairly easy as a precaution.

if you are tapping the brake easily and you are getting this, your pads/rotors may be worn down.

How old is your car? Sounds like ABS to me. Are you breaking hard?

Its normal.. U can replicate it by slamming on your breaks again...

[devilman2075]

well im glad its normal....i get scared when i hear it...i dont hear it alot but it seems when theres a little wheel slip or the roads arent great it happens no matter what speed im going....the only thing is that it doesnt sound great it just sounds like metal on metal grinding but if its just the abs than i guess its ok, my last car didnt have abs so i gotta get used to it

It's normal.. just your breaks slapping and releasing quickly... purpose of ABS is to prevent a wheel from slipping and losing traction... These civics definitely air on the side of caution; very sensetive sensors... if you have VSA, it may even do it when you don't touch the brake pedal!

sounds like the ABS kicking in....happens especially when breaking in the snow

ABS to me!
