: Weird noise on the front left, stuck brake?

I just noticed coming home a weird grinding/rubbing noise coming from the front left. It doesn't seem to change if I jam on the brakes or not. After I come to a stop it won't start up again until 30mph or so. That wheel bearing only has 40k on it. I'm leaning toward a caliper issue but I'm not well versed in brake problems. The pads and rotors were changed 10k ago and the pins were greased well.

Went to the dealer today. They have no idea. Said the bearings were tight and checked the brakes. Everything seemed fine to them. They heard the noise but couldn't pinpoint. They lubed the front end good including the control arm bushings, checked torque on the shocks, wheels, etc.

But the grind/click is still there...:confused:

I was leaning towards the hub/bearing assy myself but you ruled that out. Maybe the CV joints on the shaft?

It has been a couple of days now and the noise has gone away. I don't know whether or not the lube the mechanic sprayed in a few areas worked or if the noise just magically disappeared!
