    Default growling sound during hard braking

    99xc

    odd sound, almost like spent pads on rotors or a hard downshift, Trans is a volvo rebuilt.

    Sound happens when you come in hot to a stop sign - the last few feet produce this sound. It seems to come from the center on the front of the car - the brakes are just fine. It does it in drive and neutral. It does not happen if you do not drive hot - normal driving will not produce the noise.

    WTF? Does a bad antiloc module do this?

    checked pads and rotors - all that I can tell is that while the car was sitting the rotors rusted up some - now, after about 1500 miles there is very little noise...

    If you went 75-85 MPH and stood on the brakes a couple of times it would have been gone right away.
    You need to heat off the rust
