replace your right caliper, you can get one from autozone or pepboy for like $70(included $35 core charge), if that doesn't resolve the problem then it could be the wheel bearing. another thing to try is have the passenger stick their head out while you're turning right and make sure the noise is coming from the front instead of rear, I had similar problem happened to me like few months ago, it seems like the clunking and grinding noise was coming from front but found out it was my rear differential <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

You cant tell if bearing are bad by looking at them .They are a sealed hub race & bearing all in one unit + abs wheel speed sensor. But when they are off vehicle you can feel a bad one by holding mounting flange & spinning hub with other hand, you'll feel it's not smooth when turned , compair to a new one you'll feel it.

How much $$$ for two new ones?

We should have made it a poll, because wheel bearing is out front strong, by the way, that's my guess too! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

This same thing happened to me and it turned out to be the calpier bracket had gotten loose somehow...the 2 bolts on the back of the bracket weren't torqued down good... ?????

Quickin

HMMMMM, I can check that tomorrow. I think my bracket is bent to tell ya the truth.

Sometimes when I'm driving and steering towards the right, I can hear the left front rotor dragging and squealing. If I turn it ever so slightly to the left, it goes away. If I stop, put it in reverse, back up fast and do an "emergency" stop, it clears the problem up or greatly reduces it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

The pads look to be wearing evenly particularly as long as this has been going on. The guide pins are greased. The caliper bolts and lug nuts are torqued to spec AND I can take my hands off the wheel and it will brake in a straight line.

One problem it has caused is more heat cracks in that KVR CD rotor.

I've got a junkyard caliper and bracket I need to rebuild and switch out to see if that fixes it but can't find the time.

My calipers are painted and I wonder if maybe brake dust or something on the paint is somehow causing the pads to stick. Maybe on the bottom edge and when I do a hard reverse brake, causes them to realign themselves.
