Question

When I drive less than 30mph my left rear wheel makes a grinding noise. It has new brake pads and rotors. Could it be my calipers are seized up ? If I can post a video of the noise I will later after work. Thank you

did you check the "shield" sometimes rocks and dirt get caught inside causing that grinding/rubbing noise..... I ran into that before.

is it a grinding noise? or does it sound like a crunchy metal sound?
