I'm getting a grinding sound while breaking slowly, almost like the break pad is shifting.
and its not all the time. wierd.
12k miles on the car.

Default Yup, and i spun the wheel to make sure there was nothing catching or scraping.

and its not all the time, only once in a while while braking. sounds like the pad. the wheel was tough to get off when i pulled it off to put the spacer on.

Is the wheel hitting the liner or something?

Default I dont think so.. If it were all the time i would think something like that rubbing

but its honestly once in a while when i'm just rolling up to like a stop sign and i press the brake. Its almost like when you havent driven the car for a while and there is some rust on the disks and you press the brake a few times.

I'm going to pull the wheel off and see if maybe the dust shield was bent at all.
