I hear brakes scraping and a slight bearing rolling around inside tire. I noticed it when checking tie rods and I moved the wheel side to side but not up and down and I spun the wheel and could hear loud scrapping noise and sounded like little bearings rolling around but couldn’t hear a growl noise.

Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so I can hear the noise? That way I can tell for sure what's going on. It sounds like you have a wheel bearing hub that is bad, or the brake pads need to be replaced. Here is how to check the brake pads. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.

I would remove the brake pads and caliper to see if the noise goes away, if so look at the brake pad anti rattle clips to see if they are touching the rotor. Thanks for the video, it helps.

It almost sounds like a bad wheel bearing also but I’m not sure.

Not to me, try removing the brake caliper and pads to confirm.

Okay, so, if noise goes away, it’s in the caliper if it doesn’t go away most like melt the hub, correct?

I believe so I haven’t had time to get the tires off yet I’m about to in a few but I think your right cause we had this caliper replaced by the dealer and I have a feeling they don’t do something right.
