Grinding in front wheel area

[rgentner3]

I am hearing a grinding when driving it sounds as if maybe the rotor or brake pads are warped . The sound speeds up and slows down when aceelerating and decelerating. Any suggestions before i start tearing the front end apart??

Nope. Start tearing apart the front end!

Could be brake pads worn out, stuck caliper, wheel bearing. Not a whole lot 'rotates' truthfully. Once you take off the wheel, make sure everything is solid, No 'slop' anywhere.

if the rotors are warped, you'd feel a really bad wobble when the brakes are applied...and if it was worn brakes shoes, it would squeek constantly, check the fluid in the pumpkin(s)....make sure its full...

All fluids are full and clean. No squeeking. More of a rub sound. and its like a spot thats rubbing. when i make a slow right turn it stops.. Rotors are clean and pads are a little worn but not in bad condition

Check your axle shaft u-joints right behind the knuckles

I drove it yesterday and I can smell rubber.. I dont see anything rubbing the tires but something isn't right

Are there any shiny spots on the tires?
