scritching sound??????

Hey guys. My problem is when i turn and slightly get on the brake( pretty soft) it makes a god awful noise from the brakes. Is it time to get new ones? They don't make any noise and stop perfect when i push on them normal or hard. I notice it more when i turn. Is it possible to be something else. I got invise saying it was a warped rotor but it doesn't vibrate bad at all( abs if anything). Thanx for anything guys

Sounds like you might be down to the wear indicators which are a little tab that is on the pads and makes a noise when it is time for new pads. I have seen the same thing your describing. Also have seen this caused by rust on the rotor and it making this noise when you turn. Where is the noise coming from? Front or rear? Pull the wheels and check the condition of the pads and rotors.While you have the car jacked up before you pull the wheels check your balljoints,tie rods and wheel bearings. Do this by grabbing the wheel at 12 and 6 oclcock and wiggle the wheel. Then grab it at 3 and 9 oclock and wiggle the wheel again. Check this all out and repost with your findings. Travis

it is in the front and only front. i will wiggle the steering wheel tomorrow and see what is does. The back are drum(converted to disc when the income is in full affect) and i havent had any problems with those. I will jack here up and see. i got stuck pretty bad in mud during our first huge snow and hopefully it is frozen mud or something.
