When I turn right while driving, I hear a metallic grinding/rubbing noise about every wheel rotation coming from the driver side. It sounded like a dust shield rubbing on an uneven brake rotor.
The noise goes away (not completely though) after straightening out (sometimes), and never does it when I turn left. The grinding increases with speed.
Pressing the brake pedal doesn't do anything as far as stopping the noise.
So far I've:
- Replace the brake caliber: because I thought it was a seized caliber that cause the brake pads to rub against the rotor. I didn't replace the brake pads though because the old pads have a lot of life left.
- Replace the brake rotor: Because I saw that the rotor was uneven, some parts have raised lumps on it.
- Bending the dust shield as far away from the rotor as possible.
- Inspect the axle and its boot, both look okay. No rip or tears.
And yet none of this helped. I'm at a total loss as to what to do.
Any suggestions?
