Issue with my '94 Pickup

For some reason, something in the right wheel squeeks and grinds. But it is very random and irratic. Was happening one day, off and on, frequently. Sometimes it will pull the car to the right, kind of scary if you are on the highway, but usually happens at low speeds and sometimes from stop to moving it happens.

I went puddle splashing one day it was raining, and now does it on both wheels, however it is still random (hasn't happened in a couple days). I wouldn't be surprised if something needed to be lubed, fixed, etc.

What could it be?

I would definately get it checked as soon as you can. Could be anything. This is very dangerous for you and everyone else on the road.

Where did you go puddle splashing? You live close to me and I was just wondering where you go? I know there are a bunch of places close to El Camino near the Santa Clara/San Jose city border where water collects. But the best place I have found is at the Kohl's on El Camino and Lawrence. Everytime it rains hard, water collects in that parking lot like a mini lake. It's been like that for years, I am surprised they haven't fixed it. I actually expected them too, but when I couldn't find big puddles, I went there and to my surprise...Jackpot!!!

Oh nice, someone that lives near me. I went in the "Manor" also known as the group of houses across from blossom hill school. Pretty deep and large puddles, a lot of fun.

Do you know of any trails or fields to go mudding locally?

I have noticed that the brakes are warped, I really should get it checked out. It's just my parents don't really believe me when I say something needs to be fixed on my truck.

the rotors aren't too hard to replace. Autozone has some for $30 each with a 2 year warranty.

I don't think I trust myself working with something such as brakes. Thats something that can cause life or death.
