I have had a grind coming from my rear passenger brake for about a week. I have ordered EBC pads and centric rotors and will be installing them tommorow. I just got under the jeep to inspect the brake housing. I noticed that the passenger side back plate (adjacent to the axle), is bent towards the axle on the bottom half. I reached up between the plate and the rotor and felt the parking brake spring felt out of place. I didnt feel any rocks, just the parking brake spring and star adjuster. Im thinking they might have came loose and got stuck between the rotor and the back plate.
I will post a pic ASAP. Has anyone ever had this issue? Will I need to replace the E-Brake shoes/ back plate?? Can the plate be bent back, once I reattach the spring and star adjuster properly (assuming this is what caused it to bend)?
Sorry if I'm using the wrong terms, I've never worked on the brakes before except to retighten the star adjuster...
I'd appreciate any help..
thanks
