Default Strange Scraping
I have a very loud scraping/grinding noise coming from the front right wheel. Same is audible when driving at low speeds and when making a left hand turn. I have tried greasing everything, hosed out the brake and checked the bearing (using push and pull method).

Does anyone have any thought? Quiet the conundrum!

mmmm one other point I should have made is that the sound stops when I apply the brakes.

could be a warped disk or as murry said worn pad

to check the rotor remove it and check with a straight edge or even put it on something flat ad check it.
