Default uhoh, I've got a problem =(

Alright, I've been getting this metal-metal scraping noise coming from the right side of the car. It started about a week ago, and the frequency of occurances has gone up. Today, it happened a whole lot. What is happening is that this sound comes about when I press on the brake. It only happens some times, but it's becoming more frequent. So, it happens when I press on the brakes, soft or hard at 50 mph or less, and it keeps making noise after I let off the brake. It goes away when I come to a complete stop or when I accelerate hard. I don't know what it could be. The brake pads look fine, but I need to take them off to really look. Other than the pads, what else could it be? Thanks for the help.

check the inner brake pads. The inner pads wear out faster than the outers.

The steering wheel shakes because my rotors are a little warped, but that started LONG before the noise. Alright, I'll check my inner pads and the dust shield. Also, what are some good street/track pads? I'm looking into getting some Hawk HP+ pads. Are they good? Thanks again

It was my rear right, inside brake pad. I guess it's time for some HP+ pads ^_^
