Whenever I drive my TII either when I slow down coming to a stop or starting off from a stop I hear a rubbing noise from the front that sounds terrible, like metal rubbing.I don't think its the brakes because it makes that noise without applying the brakes but only at slow speeds.My car can't coast like it used to.It slows down rather quickly without any braking.It's costing me lot's of gas money.Anyone know what this problem might be before I have time to trouble shoot tomorrow?

- Thanks -

bzar, had a similiar problem on a *cough* honda with the ebrake not fully releasing when it was cold (like 35 or below) outside. Let off the gas and the car would slow down and stop or sit on a small incline without rolling. you could have stuck pads or something up front it sounds like.

alright thanks i'll check it out tomorrow and you described it perfectly.

the e brake hasn't worked ever since I first got this car though.

raise the front wheels off of the ground and spin them, they should spin freely, if one or both sides drag and feel difficult to turn then the caliper may be frozen.

you beat me to it. yeah get that sucker up and spin them wheels.

Did you replace a Front wheel bearing maybe? and its to tight? Maybe it needs some wheelbearing grease

if your calipers are frozen, and they prolly are, check out S&G on 8 mile.
