I had this car for a few months, when i first changed the brake pads that is when i started noticing the problem. Everytime i brake, the DRIVER SIDE makes this grinding sound, especially when im turning right while braking. I would also feel this when i go down hill around right bend turn braking. It feels like the pads are sticking to the rotor but not sure.
Here is the list of parts i replaced or did to correct the problem, but nothing happened.
1)new caliper bracket - lubed both sliding bolts.
2)another new set of pads - also lubed the back of pads.
3)new rotors
4)new caliper - driver side
5)bled all 4 brakes + replaced shims on drivers side.

Just a note:
Previous owner has replaced the following parts
1) Front Upper & lower ball joints
2) replaced front & side motor mount.

Is there any other places i should look, and diagnosis?
Thanks in advance

Sounds like a driver's side CV joint or wheel bearing needs to be replaced to me. If you're turning and it only makes the noise then, or then more than when not, it's probably a wheel bearing since more pressure is on them when turning, and usually when it's the outer wheel in the turn.

 

I am going with wheel bearing and those things don't go bad so it must have been caused by sliding into something or curbing the car. does the car drive straight? also inspect the suspension and subframe on that side of the car

milage on the car?

 

the car pulls to the left when going straight on the highway. the suspension is ok, nothing wrong with it. the subframe is also fine, car was never in a accident.could it be that it also needs wheel alginment? how much for wheel bearing plus a shop charging to put it in? the sound that it makes is like when pads are worn out to minimal and the metal piece touching the rotor.
