I just changed my pads not too long ago and i used the rotors that where still in good working order, my problem is it sounds like the right front brake pad is rubbing on the rotor slightly but you can only hear it at low speeds, do i need new rotors and pads or is the rotor warped? Im thinking the rotor/pads have dirt on them and they need to be sprayed with brake cleaner. Any suggestions?

kinda sounds like a bearing to me. I know my rear wheel bearings make that noise at low speeds. I thought the same as you, since I had just put new brakes on, but that was 2 years ago and my brakes are just fine.Comment

If it's actually the brakes rubbing and not a wheel bearing, then you have a caliper that is sticking. You can either rebuild them yourself (cheap), or buy a set of rebuilt (not so cheap).Comment

I checked my calipers and they werent rubbing but they where actually engaged on the right side so bled the system filled it up with fluid cleaned everything off and there's no sound anymore. The calipers have no damage and my mechanic said that there's nothing wrong with them when he checked them last month.Comment
