So my car keeps making these god awful noIses. It's a grinding type sound that is coming from the front wheels. It worsens when I use the breaks, and when I turn the side that lifts from the body roll gets better. Idk what it is. The pads and rotors are good, and I know ts not the new wheels because it started before I got them, though it has worsened. I'm no mechanic, so I'm lost. Could it be a bearing or something?
Sounds like your pads are barely touching your rotor. Pull your pads off and scraps as much rust off where they seat as you can and lube it up with some good disc brake grease. Also make sure that (if you even have them) the anti rattle clips are not touching the rotor as they can shift once they start to get old. Check your bearings for play while your at it
Wheel bearing.....
Brakes affect it, and turning one direction affects it. Probably your rotor coming in contact with something.
Problem solved. It was the anti rattle clips. Thanks for the help guys. Smiley
Oh man.
That would make some god awful noise. That's fo' sho'
