The right front wheel recently started making a grinding sound a few days ago and it has been pulling to the right as well. I figured I just needed new brakes and an alignment. The vehicle is an 03 I35 (y33 maxima) with 58k by the way. I got the brakes torn apart, the drivers side was fine but the pass side rotor was grooved badly and the pads were worn unevenly. Also on the pass side the axle nut was loose as hell. I figured that was my problem so I tightened the nut and put a new rotor on, I used the same pads because there was almost no wear. I took it for a test drive and now the sound is worse. The wheel bearing and all of the ball joints/Tie rods are fine. I think the caliper might be locking up, is there any way to check that? Any and all help will be graciously repped. Thanks.
