Grinding or rubbing sound from rear passenger side

[jackyl]

Hey all, I'm new here. I have an '02 EB A4x4. Drove about 40 miles around town today and nothing out of the norm. Within a block of my house I hear a rubbing/grinding sound that was almost like a flat. Pull in and the tires are all fine. Back out of the drive way and go around the block and the sound is still there. Sounds like it is on the passenger side only. Any ideas? Could it be a brake issue? I do have 22's on the EB as well. Thanks in advance for any help.

yeah possibility that one side of the brakes is getting low i'd pull the tires off and give a look see check if the pads are low

Thanks for the replies guys.

It ended up being the rear brake. Fortunately lol. It partially seized up while engaged and that's what was making the noise.

Yea, that didn't go too well.

But at least I'm glad the OP's problem was an easy fix.
