I have this noise that sounds like something is grinding coming from the front wheels. it sounds like if someone tied a chain to the bottom of your car and it was dragging along the street. and it does it alll the time not just when braking or anything. i told the people at tire kingdom to take a quick peak at it and he said that i need new braake pads cause when theyre almost worn out they make that noise. but when i reverse it makes more of a whining sound... kind of weird

and in case anyone is wondering the car is dropped and has an ingalls front camber kit if it helps?

 

I remember my buddy had something similar. It was 6 years ago, so memory is kinda vague. But I believe that it is either your rotors or your brakes. Most likely you need to change your pads.

 

anyone else?

 

so did you check the pads?

 

the only thing i can think of with out hearing it is brakes. they have a built in squiker, but that sounds like a rat being killed.

does it make the noise when the car is not moving?

 

nope just when the cars moving, yeah the pads look pretty worn out and im gonna replace them soon but i wanna know if it could be something else. cause if it still goes on after i buy new pads im gonna be pissed

 

it could be anything man....the only way is to inspect the braking system ( caliper, rotor, etc etc ) where you hear the noise and make sure nothing is "grinding" or rubbing against another part. But usually....its the pads. I had a similar situation but it wasn't the pads. One of the bolts that bolt the caliper to the knuckle came loose and it came out without me knowing. Good thing I had spare bolts I of course....had to go bitch someone out for doing a shoddy job at replacing the pads on that one side of my car.
