My rear brakes on the passenger side sound like something is rubbing slightly going down the road. The pads are good and rotors aren t warped it almost sounds like something is loose. Think I might just need to grease up the pins???

Yeah, sounds stuck or maybe its just the parking brake stuck, they say if you park your car for the winter and apply the parking braking it could lead to sticking.

update, I was dealing with this issue for the past couple of days but I heard this a month ago and thought it was the pads moving back and forth it stopped and I hadn t really noticed it until the temperature warmed up and I have been riding with the windows down. It sounded like the dust sheild was rubbing the rotor, and when I hit bumps it would rattle, just like the dust sheild would sound like if it was rubbing. So anyway I looked at it myself and didn t see anything wrong and then took it to my local mechanic. We greased up the pads and I left, this didn t fix it so the next morning I dropped it off to him. A few hours go by and he calls me to inform me that somehow a rock got into the parking brake drum and was getting caught up against the wall and just making the grinding noise. He said he could see the marks that the rock was making. and he also adjusted my parking brake ended up costing about $75 for a stupid rock that god only knows how it ended up in there. Anyway the car hasn t made a sound and I am relieved that this was something dumb and didn t require spending a ton of money on parts.
