I know this is very stupid but i did a power braking burnout/donuts on my gf cul de sac and my ABS light came on and then my brakes sound like grinding/banging/thumping when i use the brake pedal coming home. no squealing just like somethings dragging on the ground but only when i use the brake

someone told me it could be either wheel bearing or the brakes, but since i only hear it when i brake, does the mean its the brake?

Could be - I'd pull the rear wheels to take a look. Maybe you lost a pad or something?

so the problem was.. a bolt came loose from the back left caliper and that was what was causing the shaking apparently and the front brakes were pitted so got those replaced!

my obs did the exact same thing in the front and now I have to check it periodically because it still slowly (and I mean slowly, nothing to freak about) works its way loose. Make sure you keep an eye on it.

Ya, it would def work but it seems like im always tearing into the damn thing for something (wheel bearings specifically) so I didnt want to start making it a pain to get off.
