wierd issue Options

[playr158]

ok so i get this metallic rubbing sound when i'm driving
around
so today i finally decided to check it out

the outside edge of my rotor
approx. 1/2" from the edge toward the center is showing greater wear then the rest of my rotor

i havn't checked the bads off the car yet and i'm doin that probably tomorrow

but i just wanted some opions
oh and its only onthe driver side

maybe the pad isn't clipped in correctly ?
check to see if the pad is prematurly worn. If the caliper was frozen of sticking, you would know it without a doubt.

I was just about to post that it's likely your wheel bearing; when mine got pretty bad they wore the outer rim of the rotors as well. Be sure you don't drive too much on the bad bearing, as it can mess other things up.
