Lately, I have noticed a a metal on metal noise coming from my right front tire. But the noise only happens when i am going straight and turning to the left. Sometimes when i am oing straignt, and i hit the breakd the noise stops and sometimes not

 

Sounds like a brake issue. How are your pads?

 

Thats what i thought also. But I wont have a chance to tear it apart until sunday night. I just wanted other opinions before i jumped into it.

 

I'm think either your pads are running out or your rotor is warped. But I guess it's possible it is something else.Just my .02

 

So a warped rotor could be the cause of a persistent squeaking??? Hmmmm, that's probably the problem with one of my cars then.

 

How would a rotor just become warped? Wouldnt this happen over a period of time?

 

Don't jump to conclusions. I would start basic and check your pads first.

 

Like I said, I wont be able to get to it until sunday afternoon. But I just wanted to know what to be possibly be expecting. The noise is bugging the crap out of me!

 

I know how you feel.

 

I finally got to tearing it all apart. The problem was not that the pads were worn very far, but the little squealer tab was twice as long as on the passenger side. I had over half of the pad left. I was pretty pissed considering I had to drive all the way home from school to fix something that was not a problem. on my new pads, i just cut the tab to half the length, to get more out of my pads.

 

Good to hear it.
