Default Brake Help

My 95 teg is in some need of help. Front right wheel have most brake dust and steering wheel turns right when braking. Dont know why. Also when I brake, the brakes sound like its dry and makes like a dry grinding noise. i don't know if that makes sense, but best way i can describe it. If you have any ideas. LMK. Thanks

Your pads are gone, replace them.

Yeah it sounds like you have a frozen caliper. Also check your pads and it probably wont hurt to get your front rotors turned.

No my pads are fine. And it doesn't seem like the pads are uneven wear either. Both side seem to be wearing out the same.

did you pull the caliper off? could be frozen pretty eazy to fix. they can also get warped which will cause it to sorta pull the car when you brake. might want to see if you can get rotors turned.

The sound you describe sounds like the brake wear indicator - the little thin strip of metal.

Don't bother turning your rotors - that costs about 4 x the amount of new rotors.
