Little help w/ brakes please...

Lately I have noticed an almost vibrating sound while driving my max at low speeds and sometimes when cornering in a parking lot for example? I think that my pads might be hanging up on my rotors...but I'm not sure. It sounds like rubbing but its not a constant noise, its on and off. Suggestions how to free up the rubbing or what could actually be making that noise? Thanks

Re: Little help w/ brakes please...

First off... examine the rotors and brakes. Jack up your car and take off the wheel. You should be able to spin the rotors freely by the lugs. If you're getting rubbing in certain parts of the rotor you will probably need the rotor resurfaced. Note: a very light consistant rubbing of the rotor and the pad is normal. Just make sure the rotor spins freely. What happens when you hit the brakes?
