alright well I'm driving to school and I'm coasting to a stop light and i hear this noise coming from what sounds like my right front wheel area. it sounds kinda like grinding? i don't think that thats the correct term but its something like that. i checked my brakes and all that and everything checked out fine. maybe i didn't see the problem anyone know what it is and can help me?

 

did it recently rain or been humid... prolly some brake dust/rust that just needs to come off. is it temporary or consistent?

 

brake dust maybe?

 

did it only do it that one time or is it a constant thing?

 

grinding? hit anything lately?

and like people asked... does it always happen? or on occasion?

 

it comes and goes. its happening again. it happened a few months ago and it went away til now. i cant really describe the sound cause i dont know the word for it.. :b but its kinda like griding i guess? it happens when im coasting at about 40 and under and yes i had hit this bump in the road going to school if that helps.

 

Put it on stands and get a good look under your car. If its a metal on metal sound, you might be able to see something obvious.

 

Yeah that's what I'm guessing it sounds like: metal on metal. What is it? And ill go and do that today after school

 

Everyone’s first guess is going to be brakes. Either worn pads, or maybe the keeper tabs. If its deep grinding noise, it could be worn pads, if its a high pitched squeek, it could be the keeper tabs. Those are probably your best case scenarios. Also, I just checked with some of our mechanics, and they suggested you have a mechanic look at it. It could be something that is covered under warranty. I might not mention hitting anything

 

thanks guys for the help =D
i went after school today and they're gonna take care of it for me tomorrow! =D
and i didnt mention hitting anything either
