H3 Horrible intermittent sound

[chaos254]

Hey everyone, I've only had my h3 for about 3k miles but I'm getting this horrible noise which sounds like its coming from the right front of vehicle. It doesn't happen all the time. I notice it when I'm slowing down at ~25 mph and lower. It sound like a binding, metal on metal scrapping sound. I work at a ford dealer so I had one of the mechanics drive it and put it up on the lift. He heard it on the test drive but couldn't reproduce it on the lift. Any ideas of what I should be looking for? We checked my brakes and everything looks good. Any help would be great. Thanks

Could be that is just a chip brake puds. Or the grease got on it and pads are glazed over. Or little rock got stock somewhere. Take everything off, clean it with brake cleaner, clean the brake puds with metal brush and put everything back.

Does it do it a a certain temp. I know it sounds weird, but when it was around 50 degrees outside mine made a squealing noise also. It would do it at a low speed and even sitting still. If I rocked it side to side it would do it. I sprayed everything with WD40 or lithium grease. Never fixed it. Finally after I lifted it, no noise. I put new Rancho springs on it. I think that was the problem the whole time. Several people recommended cleaning the rear springs real good. Long story short, lift it. Lol. Seriously though I'd check the springs.
