Get a grinding sound from front driver side area when I brake between 15-30mph. Sometimes i will brake, hear the grind, let off, then reapply the brakes and there will be no grinding.
Occasionally between 15-30 mph i start hearing clicking coming from that area as if something is loose.

I got new brake pads last September.
No loss in braking power.
No pulling or vibrating when grinding.

Inspect the driver side pads/caliper assy to include the wheel bearings
