'04 Accord grinding noise

Hello all,

I've got an '04 Accord (EX-L sedan - 4 banger - 114,000 miles)..Recently I have noticed that when I make a turn (left or right - i.e turning into a parking spot) I hear a grinding noise coming from the front of the car..My thoughts are it's either...the calipers, wheel bearings or something to do with the suspension.

Any idea's?

Thank you...

check your brakes, check that the backing plates arent hitting the rotors..

Re: '04 Accord grinding noise

I don't think that is it..I drove the car at low speeds (10-15 mph) and heard/felt the brake pads rub against the front rotors (while not pressing on the brake pedal)..It sounds like the calipers are too tight.

I just had a complete brake job not 3,000 miles ago..Any idea's?
