Report: Noise due to brake rotor grinding against caliper bracket
Mazda 3 Problem
Model Years Affected: 2004, 2005, 2007
Average Mileage: 102,400 mi (84,000 mi - 120,800 mi)
If you hear a constant grinding noise from the front brakes, even when not pressing the brake pedal, it is possible the wheel hub has shifted in the steering knuckle causing the brake rotor to grind against the caliper bracket. The hub will need to be inspected (replaced if necessary) and Mazda has a repair procedure for this concern.

Rotor has ring ground into it due to caliper rubbing against it.
Brake pads are good, only grinds when making left turns.
Makes a metal to metal grinding sound with some shavings present on brake caliper mount.Flag ThisLike0
