Default Grinding sounds from my car

Well I've recently began having more sounds added to the list o' noise emitting from my car. Thanks to you cats I've figured out some of them but I'm not sure on all of them.

1. The vibrations I've recently dealt with when driving and accelerating I've concluded are, belt axles, worn CV joints/Wheel bearins and bad rotors. Yeah I like to drive safe but the car is 11 years old.

2. Now I'm dealing with another sound. In REVERSE, I hear a samll whine coming from somewhere. It kicks in in reverse or when I turn the car on and last for about 10 seconds. It goes away when I put my foot on the brake. I have no idea what it is. It can't be power steering cause it has non. Could it have something to do with the master cylinder, should I bleed my brakes.

3. Now this is a new one. When driving I hear a scraping noise come from my right tire. It goes away when I break but when I start to drive it comes back.

Any ideas as what the problems might be.

Noise from the right sounds like a brake pad scraper telling you it's time for an upgrade

i'm assuming the grinding sound from your right tire could be worn brake pads. to avoid spending alot of $$$...change them as soon as possible. make sure you get the rotors put on the machine and get it turned. its like $5 each rotors turned at pepboys.

by the ways when braking does the car shake?? if it does....thats the problem. worn brake pads and its touching each other already on the rotors. i've had that problem with my dads toyota tacoma where you can see the brake pads are totally worned out.
