Lots of smart folks on this board. I appreciate your posts.
On my 2004ce I just noticed a low scraping sound coming from my front discs at 50k miles. Normally I would just assume that the pads need replacing and do it myself.
However, I read somewhere that the sound of worn pads on a corolla should be a high pitch screech. And a low scraping sound could indicate an alignment problem. I think this might be BS so I thought I'd bring it to the board.
1) Should my oem pads be worn out at 50k?
2) Would the scraping sound be normal for worn pads?
3) How often do corollas need an alignment with normal driving, if ever?
4) Can someone recommend a good, low cost pad.
Thanks!
