Brake noise?
Guys I'm hoping that someone will be able to point me in the right direction here. I replaced the pads and rotors in my 05' Silverado, broke the pads in stopping slowly from 30 MPH and everything was OK. I drive the truck 40 miles to work and everything is normal. 20 miles later going home I take a sharp right hand turn at speed and I hear a grinding noise coming from the driver's side. I ride the brake pedal and I can feel it grinding. Corner finishes and the noise stops. Now occasionally I hear a metal to metal grind noise when hitting a bump or sharp right turns over 30 MPH. Does it would like a caliper getting hung up? Or retracting more than it should so the pad is chattering? What do you guys think?

Did you apply anti-seize lubricant to the floating caliper pins?

I had that happen on my 68. It was a small pebble that caught between the pad/rotor. It left a slight groove around the disc.
