Question Squeeling noise.

I have a grinding noise on the front right wheel. I have new brakes, Rotors, ball joints, tires all balanced and alignment. So now I am stumped on the problem I have tried taking apart my calipers all seem fine. Any other answers or ideas would be awesome thanks.

Check the dust shield directly behind the rotor. These can get bent easily and if you just had all that work done then there is a good chance that is your issue. Just bend it away from the rotor if its rubbing

So its not that. When i push the brakes lightly it comes in bursts so thinking my pads might be worn in 1 spot but im not sure.

Ok so all the bolts are tight in correct place but the brake clips are missing from the front left brake pads.

Another question wht would cause my stearing to stick in either direction i turn for example: i turn a 90 degree right turn my car wants to keep turning that direction not a lot but feels like my allignment is off and same for left turns. Car was just aligned, could it be the unit that both tie rods comnect to thats causing this?

If I am understanding you correctly you mean if you make a turn then let go of the wheel it doesn't want to reset on its own back straight? I would start with a complete flush of your power steering system

Hrmm strange. Mine will do that slightly but only on reverse coming out of my driveway but I think that has more to do with the crappy angle of my driveway. Only suggestion I can give would be to check your power steering fuild for color and level. A well as lower ball joint and tie rod ends.

Arent cars supposed to slightly pull to the left just a bit to keep from hitting the curb or something like that? I just got a great alignment, green around the board, and she still pulls left a bit.

A car is not supposed to pull either way on a flat road. However that being said roads are not flat, they are engineered not to be flat so the water will drain to either side. If your alignment is perfect then when your is in the right lane it may ever so slightly want to pull right due to the faint angle of the road while the left hand side of the road should do the opposite. Pulling can occur from brake drag as well as alignment. Doesn't take much brake drag to lead your car one way or the other when your doing 65 down the highway
