97 Grand Prix GTP metal or grinding front sound when let off gas lower speeds?

[milladog]

ok i have been hearing a noise on my 97 GTP 140,000 miles, i found receits for new bearings all around vehicle for a few years ago. The sound is when i let off the gas doing 20-35mph, it is a metal to metal catching sound, no lights on. I hit a bad hole last week and i grit my teeth and now it has been doing this grinding, sould it be the hub or strut. I have 245/45/18 tires brand new no rubbing. My front rotors have been warped for 2 months now but it never did this before so i dont think its the rotors, im saving for slot drilled style. I need some help figuring this one out...and thanks for helping me out everyone on my bad gas mileage problem....so if you can throw some things to check it is on the passenger side it seems as well in the front....thanks

I would, real quick like, pull off the right front tire and look at your brakes, caliper, rotor, strut. Something is rubbing against the other!!!!!!!!!!!
AND, be sure to check the back side of the rotor(the side you cannot see)!!!!! Put your hand back there and see if it is rough, plus you may notice bits of metal.

I agree. Quickie thing to do is look for a thin ring on the rotor indicating it could be the tang on the pad mount is scraping it. Look at your calipers and see if your brake pads are wore out. I've heard of the pad retainer clips coming loose and scraping the rotor too.
Good advice from hljmesa.
