I replaced my front and rear brake pads two days ago. There is no squealing or any other noise, however every now and then when I go downhill and I do not even apply the brake there is some kind of grinding noise coming out of the rear right wheel, then when I pull the emergency brake a bit it stops right away. What could that be, the rear rotors are sitting in there nicely so I don't think the emergency brake pads fell out or anything. Should this disappear in a while or what could it be?

Jack the rear of the car up and do not set the brake. Try turning the wheels and see if they spin freely. Maybe the e brake froze up

fixed it, I put the car in reverse and then pulled the brake, something squealed and then popped, now everything is fine, I guess the e-brake adjusted itself lol
