Default Grabbing or Rubbing Drivers Side Wheel...

Hi all,

Well Im already pretty sure I know the answer to this one but thought Id get some advice...

When I am braking from a fairly good speed (say 60 KPH or higher) I can hear and somewhat feel some rubbing that seems to be coming from the drivers side front tire. Also, sometimes when I start to drive from a standstill I can hear kind of a deep squeak coming from the same area and I am thinking I have a rubby / grabby brake.

Could there be anything else that would cause this kind of situation other than the brakes? I am also beginning to think that this MAY have something to do with the bad fuel economy I am getting.

Any suggestions?

You either need new front pads or pads and rotors.

Check your brakes and your wheel bearings. Could be either.
