I have replaced my brake pads, my rotors, my calipers, my CV axle, my tire rods, my front differential, and I still cannot figure out what the grinding is coming from. It’s getting worse.

Hi,

Is it loud enough for you to record and upload so I can hear it? If so, it may help.

As far as the noise, is there anything that changes the sound? Does it change when turning or using the brakes? Did you inspect the backing plate behind the brake rotor? Check if it is bent and rubbing the brake rotor.

Let me know.
