Car Grinding Sound When Moving

[greg8325]

My 02 infiniti i35 is making a grinding sound while moving. If I come to a complete stop the sound goes away. The grinding sound increases the faster I move but it doesn't increase in sound. The steering wheel also shakes a little and the gas pedal shakes a little too. What could this be?

Brakes..

If youve checked your pads, and thats not the issue, than your caliper(s) have come loose and the caliper is grinding against the inside of your rim. You can do a simple walk around and see if thats it. There should be a generous amount of space between the caliper and the inside of the wheel. If it looks like the caliper is too close to the wheel, than you have a caliper bolt missing, doesnt happen alot, but it does happen. FYI, theres only 2 bolts per caliper, upper and lower. Hope that helps.
