So the other week, my left front whell had what can only be described as a metal on metal sound coming from the brakes. It went away after about 200mtrs everytime I was drving.
It soon got alot worse and was occuring more often. I found out the way to stop the noise was to pull over to the side of the road and press the brakes on full.
Driving tonight to the local KFC, I tried again to use the brakes to stop the noise but it nolonger works.
So tomorrow i'm going to to take of the wheel and have a look at the brakes etc,
Thing is, I don't think its the pad as it doesn't make the noise as I am braking, so it doesn't seem like the pad is worn thru. It sems to me like something is rubbing on the rotor.
However, could it be worse and be a wheel bearing?
But then why would it stop with braking?
Anyone have any idea on what I should be looking for?
