Pad or bearing??

[all_motor_baby]

Hi guys, i've got a minor prob the front left wheel of the car, it's making a grinding noise, i took off the wheel and spun it and it grinds i think it might be the pad or a loose bearing what do you guys think??

regards, Jace

the pad should only be making a bad noise if it has been worn out - and the indicator thing is rubbing. Have you checked to see if the break pads are still ok? I'd check that first...

yeah it usually easy to just take them off to see if he pads are worn or you can look at the disk to see if there is any scratching, they should be pretty obvious. If the pads are worn just replace, if you've still got a noise prob is your bearings. Its sometimes hard to tell unless you hear what the noise actually is.
