Just the opposite. The right only made a noise that sounded like a bearing
dropping a few inches in a tin can. No feel or visual.
The left made no noise, but with the truck off the ground the whell rocked side

brake rotor rubbed on the caliper and made squeeking. Still couldn't feel it
in the drivers seat though.
