weird noise

i getting a weird noise coming from my front, driver brake area. the noise sort of sounds like brake dust, when pressing on the brake. but the noise starts when i turn left, and not when i am brake. i was wondering if this was a brake problem or a suspension problem. i got my brakes resurfaced because i got some fat grooves in them, but that didnt solve the problem. any help or advice is appreciated. thanx

Pete I have the same issue, started saturday after I went a little late into a corner and wound up in a field. put the car on a rack today and dove around the whole area nothing is rubing visibly my rotors are not scared like they would be if i picked something up so I am at a loss.

Please post if you figue it out.

Pete,
Have you checked the wheel bearings?

Worn bearings will allow the rotor to float onto the pads when cornering without he brakes applied.

That was my thought to that some how as the car unloaded the wheel bearing flexed or scratched or something...cheacked the out have not had them apart yet but there is abosolutly no play in mine

Ive heard of people with bad wheel bearings that dont know it until they pull them out. They wiggle the wheel and all seems fine but when they pull them out its burned. If you feel your car pull to the left or the right and your wheels are balanced and all then it might be the wheel bearing. How many miles do you have on the car?

not pull or shift or anything under braking or in a strait line...so thats why i am slowly staring t rule out bearings as the issue also it appears as thought the issue stops when the breaks are loaded up I think i may have dust or some thing else in the brakes. The only thing that doesnt make sense about that is the fact that stering imputs should effect brake squeaking?

i have been told that it could be my bearings also. when i had my brakes done i got the wheels balanced. and the car does pull to one side when driving. how much does it cost to check and to replace them.
