When I'm turning to the right and hit the brakes there's a slight grinding noise coming from the front passenger tire, and i can feel the grind in the pedle, the pads are fine plenty left. And also just when I hit the brakes or sometimes when I take off there is a clunk from the same tire. Bad caliper? Abs sensor? I have no clue iv had the tire off can't find anything loose or bent looking.

typical symptom of bad wheel bearing.

grab the top of the wheel and pull/push and you will likely find that it moves much more than it should.

Did you check both the inner and outer pads?

I tightened the wheel bearing nut and it fixed it for now. When I change the wheel bearing is there anything else I need to do while I got it apart? Is there a certin brand I need to get or will the cheapo work? Thanks.

Autozone ValueCraft works. Problems have been reported with Timken.
