1998 ES300 with 176,000 miles. About 3 out of every 10 times I press the brakes I get this grinding feel on the pedal and a low pitched moan or whine noise. In some of these forums there's mention of "pin" that may need replacing. It only occurs at low rates of speed and usually when I'm turning, going through water or over bumps. The car is great minus a few electrical issues. I've spent $1000+ on new pads, struts and rotors, but I'm still having this issue.

If you heard grinding noise while turning, you might want to check your CV joints.

agreed...check your cv joints and even wheel bearings...when changing brakes you caliper pins should have been serviced (cleaned and greased) if you lift the front end off the ground and move the tire up n down i think you may find some play in the front end!!!!!

I have this too, on and off.

Mind you, it can be ceramic pads in damp/moist weather. Mine doesn't stop any worse or anything like that, but it gets annoying at times.

Thanks a lot. I'll give these options a look.
