    My 2002 was making a noise similar to wear indicators but the brakes were fine. I narrowed it down to a bracket rubbing on the inside rotor face. This bracket seems to act as a shim between the hub and knuckle and is used to route the ABS wire. The bracket is shown in the bottom of this picture. http://www.grandprixforums.net/how-r...ubs-10985.html

    Any advice?

    It's bent. Bend it back.

    That is what I thought but I can't explain how both sides could have been bent at the sames time. I did have the bearings replaced about 100,000 mile ago.

    It looks ok. The bracket however is worn down.

    Bend the brackets back and make sure there is clearance between it and the rotor. It's just that simple.
