Stones stuck in wheel?

[kogu]

Hi All,

Recently, i was driving and I started to hear a loud screeching noise from my wheels (Right front). It lasted for about 3 mins and finally went away. never showed up since then. When doing some research here, one of the threads talked about how we can get a stone stuck somewhere in our wheels, between break pads, or some sheild that is use to cool the brakes, etc.

My question is, how many of you had this issue before? I live in a place where we have snow sitting around for almost 6 months and a lot of sand is used.

Thanks in Advance.

I have had this happen a few times although not yet with the Genesis. Usually a small stone gets caught between the static spray shield on the hub side of the brake disc and the rotating disc itself. It can cause a horrible noise, but as with your experience, usually only for a short while until the stone gets thrown out by the rotation of the disc at higher speed. If it doesn't then it's best to stop and try to remove the stone as it could score the surface of the disc depending on its hardness. One trick is to just try reversing slowly which sometimes dislodges the offending grit.
