Scraping noise from wheel?

[BLUEBLOTCH]

When I am driving I get a squeel from my right front wheel, Almost like when the squealing sound when you start to brake. I cant feel it, just hear it. When I gently step on the brake to slow down but keep moving it the noise stops.
What is it? Wheel Bearing?

First, I'd look at your brake pads. If they are ok, check the metallic backing plate behind the rotor to see if it's touching. If that's ok and it's not a rumbling noise too which could be wheel bearing then I'd say that you have metallic brake dust buildup on your brake pads. You can do 2 things. 1, find a remote area and get up to 40-50 mph and hit your brakes pretty hard. Don't lock them up, but bring it down fast. Do this a few times. 2. You can remove your pads and take a wire brush on a grinding wheel and clean them.

It will do it again. Metallic pads gather rust and rust is metal. Metal rubbing against metal will squeal.

Good Luck

Thanks for the quick reply!

Are you saying take a brush to the actual brake PADS?

I have been think of replacing them since I havent had teh car that long, itsi usually one of the thing I do after getting a new car. Its some stupid peace of mind thing I have. Would that possibly fix teh prob?
