Not sure why this groove is there on a 2008 Explorer?

It looks like a wear groove. Are the pads worn and metal to metal contact is occurring? Maybe there is debris between the rotor and the pad scouring out the rotor.

OK I will check for debris or something. There is still a good amount of brake pad left on both sides.

Is the scouring something that has happened recently? It could have happened from a previous set of pads being worn down and the rotors were not replaced.

I just noticed a few days ago after having tires and rims installed. It started making this scrubbing noise, and rattling type noise also when hitting a bump.

Something stuck between the pad and rotor.
