03 F-150 grinding noise

[troy889]

Hi, new here, had this truck for about a year and a half now, never had a problem with it.

in the last month whenever i get down to a low speed say less than 10 or 15 mph i get a very noticeable grinding noise, It kinda changes tone a bit when i steer heavy to the left or right but still remains. I do have a significant build up of break dust on my front tires but I still stop just as well as i ever have with this truck. It grinds regardless of me slowing or speeding up.

I really know nothing about vehicles and i was hoping to get an opinion on here.

Maybe you have a little stone stuck in between your disk and the rotors. I had that problem a few months ago. It was hard to see the little stone. but it was there.

Your brake pads could be kaput and the grinding could be metal on metal or your description could also lead me to believe wheel bearing/ hub failure. hopefully tho it is just the stone as Rasp noted.
