Default Slight grinding/binding of front brakes

Im getting a slight binding or grinding of front brakes once in a while mostly during or after rain going slow down a small incline(on the road)just as its comming to a stop..
I thought it might be rust on rotor from sitting overnight after rain.
Im changing my oil this weekend on my brothers lift Ill inspect them then.

I've got some bumping and grinding going on in the back of my Hummah, if you know what I mean. Heh, heh.

You can kinda inspect your rotors by looking thur the wheels and checking for grooves or wear on the rotor. If it looks smooth its probably just rust or possible dirt. Did you do some off roading ? If it continues you might want to have them checked. Not much help, just a couple ideas, See ya bro,,,

My brakes made some seriously freaky noises going down Hells Gate in Moab. Very much like you just described. I think it's normal for the type of pad. But jeez, it was horrendous!

You might have a little oil soaked into the pads or caliper seepage.

Check for wear on the pads

check rotor condition

check mounting hardware (is it tight?)

let us know what you find.

I havent did any off roading for a few weeks(and it was light),rotors look good from what I can see in driveway.I did notice after it rained the next day rotors are rusty.Its very light grinding(intermitant) just before it come to a stop the wife was worryed so Ill pull the wheels off on the lift and take a look.If it continues Ill bring it to the dealer.
