Grinding Noise

I just got my brake rotors turned and my brake pads changed but I still here a grinding noise. And its not only when I brake. When I am traveling at low speeds I hear it as well. I also rotated my tires the same time I got my brakes done. What do you think it could be?

does it get louder and louder when you go faster? If it does, it might be your wheel hub. I heard of some 5.5 genners having that problem.

It doesn't get louder when I go faster. I check my pads and the shims are on there and they are cereamic tiles. When I brought the car it had 3 goodyear tires and one protenza tire. All of the tread still looks good and before the protenza was on the back passenger. Now it is on the front passenger and that is where I am hearing most of the noise.

check the dust shield that is behind the rotors....especially the bottom part.....sometimes those get bent (especially when taking off the rotor) and will rub up against the edge of the rotor once its put on.....you can just bend it back a little by hand.....very good chance this is your problem....happened to me and another buddy when doing rotor replacements...
