Default grinding noise

Anyone have this happen?

When I first get in my car after it's been sitting for a while (like in the morning), and I need to slow down to turn, go over a speed bump, or whatever, I hear a grinding noise coming from the brakes. I'd say after the 3rd time I stop or slow down the grinding noise goes away.

Any clue what this is? My ABS light isn't coming on and the noise goes away so I'm stumped.

You might have to put wheel off and inspect the brake lining to make sure you still have brake lining left.

sitting for how long? just overnight? generally that shouldn't happen, but if a car has been sitting for several days or longer usually the thin layer of rust that has built up on the rotors will have to wear off, suppose it could make that noise. do you have factory pads and rotors?

i figured it out. The past couple of days I haven't been able to let my car warm up completely. I let it warm up today, and no noise.

weird

i noticed that when i go in reverse it does that.. only when the car hasn't been driven... i guess after it warms up it goes away..

bump for a mechanical answer.
