Check for lines on the rotor plate on both the inside. It could be the pad
sensor (inside pad) grinding against the plate, which indicates that the
inside pad is to low and needs replacement.

Subject: DML: rotor like grinding sound ?
I just noticed this sound when I'm doing less than 5
mph and coming to a stop. It sounds almost like a pad
going bad and grinding on your rotor. This sound is
more of a plastic grinding noise though. I took off
the tire, looked at the rotor and pads (I should
mention I'm still on my original pads and rotor and
this is a 1999 Dakota so I guess I'm in the minority
here with 50,000 miles). Everything looks fine,
plenty of pad, the rotor is smooth and not warped. I
couldn't find anything loose or in the way or
something that would rub against the tire or rotor.
Anyone ever run into this phantom noise? I should
also ask does anyone know the size of the allen wrench
that goes into the caliper? I think I've run the
gamut of metric and standard and can't find one to
fit.
Thanks
