can't identify the sound

Alright first off there will be spelling erorrs. See...anways after a unexpected fun runs on a twisty road I found by luck driving home I kept and still keep hearing this scrrechhing sound from my drivers side when I'm driving it just does it randomly almost. I keep thinking its the braket that hold the brake pad or the brake pad itself is worn down and is rubbing against the disc?

I asked someone about the sound and I was told it could be dirt and jsut needs to be cleaned.. I hope its nothin big

Does it happen only when driving? Does it sound like a metal on metal contact?

About two months ago, I had a similar thing happening to me, and I swore it wasn't the brakes because on the outside they looked fine. Once I pulled the wheel off, I found that the inner pads on the front were nearly gone, and it was the wear bar I was hearing making intermittent contact. Changed the pads (and rotors) a couple weeks later, and problem - and sound - gone.

Yes only when driving. and it does not happen when I brake sometimes when I speed up like on the freeway or when I'm jsut cruising around. Ahhh...oh geez I looked at what I could from the outside and the front pads seem fine to me, but I suppose I'll have to check them out perhaps the rear??

sounds like it could be just brake pads..its its a high pitched screech chances are it is..if thats the case dont wait too long b4 ur grindin metal on metal

[Notorious_V.I.C]

Yea it ahs to be my pads or some crazy shit bearings of some sort?? Well any how I got on to the freeway today and it started the horrible screeching again and it only goes away when I lightly or just press on the brake pedal. I will be getting the brakes checked out tomorrow after my classes and swimming.

[Notorious_V.I.C]

Well I did new pads more like the front ones. I only changed the front, but for some reason the driver side was worn more then the passenger side. Left the rear pads...alone
