Hi,

My 2003 XC90 (~120k miles) has noise on front driver side brake area when driving, it is not smoothly driving, always feel something is sticking.

At the beginning this month, I had heavy driving for 400 miles. Then there is big noise and driver side brake pad had only 10% left. Mechanic changed calipers ( rebuild) and brake pads on both sides, not change rotors.

Brake is ok now, but still has noise on driver side (not loudly likes before) and I feel driving is not smoothly.

Mechanic said caliper does not fully released and released speed is very slowly. He checked wheel bearing and brake lines, they are ok. I checked YouTube, my car noise is liking bad wheel bearing noise.

I brought my car to Goodyear, Goodyear found passenger side control arm worn out and suggested changed it.

Now I am confused — right side bad control arm can cause noise on left side???

Thanks for reading my post.
