Hi,
I noticed when taking left turns, that there is a quick repeating scraping/grinding sound coming from what i suspect is the rear passenger wheel well. It's not a constant scraping sound, it stops, starts, stop starts, only when the vehicle is in motion taking a left turn. (no braking applied)
observations on rear passenger side:
Any ideas what to test or do next?
Thanks in advance,

observations on rear passenger side:
- tire does not move when pushing at 12 oclock and 6 oclock, and 3 and 9.
- rotor shield is not in contact
- brake pads have an uneven wear.
- On the caliper bracket, one 'hole' for the slider pin, seems tigher than the other. Both pins go in smoothly on 1 hole, but the other, both pins are tighter to push in. I cleaned it out and applied brake cleaner, shiny inside, used new caliper grease, no difference, it's tight going into the hole.
- New slider pin rubber boots are being used, no cracks or damage.
- Since it's single piston, i suspect the slider pin being tight is causing the uneven brake pad wear
Any ideas what to test or do next?
