Vehicle: 1997 explorer sport, 4.0 v6
Problem: had a rear brake hose leaking (one that runs over the rear axle) so I pulled it off and replaced it today and it no longer leaks or anything, I bled the rear brakes, and then drove it around the block and I noticed when I hit the brakes and let go of the pedal it still sounded like one was holding on(a grinding and shimmy), but I had somewhere to be so I drove about 70 miles, and I can hear the brake rubbing somewhere, so I got out when I got home and looked at all the rotors and all of them were fine exept for the passenger front brake rotor, has about a 1/2" ring around the outside edge... A deep groove that obviously shows something is rubbing when it shouldn't be...
So my question is.. What could be wrong or what can I check.. I'm not driving the vehicle anymore because of how bad the noise and rotor is.. I need imediate help please!!
Thanks guys!!
