I got a strange grinding noise from front passenger side. The sound does not exists when the car was fresh start in a day. It only start makeing noise when the car run abit. The noise also DISAPPEAR when break apply. Some strange scratches were found on the surface of the break disc where its not suppose to have. Break disc and pads were change half year ago. All tyres were new as well.
