1992 500E brake noise...

My cousin has a 1992 500E. She bought the car about 35,000km's ago (around 20Kmiles) and had it gone through with great detail. Included was brand new brakes on all four corners, discs and pads included.

Today, I was giving her a hand with an oil change (she bought a LiquidVac and I helped...) and when she was driving into my garage, the brakes made a HORRID grinding noise. I jacked the car and took off all four wheels, finding all pads (inside too...) in top shape and the discs looked good too. Didn't measure for run out, but they have no "lipping."

I hosed them off, hoping to get rid of dust. Still noisy.

Stumped. Should she be worried? I know MB's brakes are noisy, but these are LOUD!

BTW, I drove the car and the brakes work GREAT!
