Default Help w/ weird noise from wheels...

Hey my car is experiencing a weird noise from the front left wheel area, anmd maybe te other side too. Awhile ago I was gettin this metal on metal grinding type sound and I took itr into a shop and they jacked up my car and looked around. They said it was my backplate and they took a pair of pliers then did somethin behind the wheel. Now im hearing this noise again, but its not constant like before, its sparatically. Ill hear it if im going 30+mph and moreso if I make a right turn, or just shank the wheel to the right... Can anyone help me out? Its a real light metal on metal sound and happens just in certain circumstances like i gotta be going fast enough, hit a bump or somethin, or make a right turn...

how old are your brake pads? it may be the squealers. you might need new ones. when your pads get worn to low they make that sound to let you know its time for new ones.

look in your calipers and see how thin they are.
