recently i hit a pot hole with my rear nearside wheel. since then i've heard a grinding from the rear nearside. its not constant. sometimes i hear it when i brake, sometimes if i go over a bump, others when i take a left hand bend or when turning left into a junction. i've had a quick look at the brakes and the pads don't look worn. do i have a sticky calliper?

its unlikly that the pothole has effected the caliper,did you check for broken suspension parts?

doesn't appear to be any broken suspension parts. i don't hear the usual whining sound associated with it, but is it possible its a bearing?

buckled wheel is most likely if the wheels buckled the disk will warp under breaking so youll have both now jack the car up spin the wheel it will stick or slow right down where the disk is warped so youll need to replace both disks and pads and have the wheel balanced if its a bad buckle a new wheel

thanks art. i'll give that a bash soon. i can't imagine the wheel is buckled though, it wasn't the biggest pothole.

it was a bearing.
