Sound comming from driver side wheel area

Not sure exactly what could be causing this.

It has been there for about 2 months.

Steering does not feel affected.

The link doesn't work for me.

But it would help if you could better explain the problem. When does it happen? What kindof noise is it? etc.

if it's a squeeking noise, could be your brake pads are almost worn.
If it's a grinding noise, could be a bad wheel bearing.

when i am driving under 60km/h i can hear a metal on metal sound its very high pitched.

When I go over bumps it sometimes goes away. Anything that jolts the shocks,suspension or tire causes it to go a way or come back.

But it is there 90% of the time at lower speeds, at higher speeds it either isnt there or just cant hear it...

it really sounds like heat shield. its the metal cover that is right behind the rotar. make sure its not touching the rotar or any other moving parts.

On the brake caliper there is a metal clip. It happens from time to time that it falls out of place and grinds up next to the rotor. Jack the car up and pull the wheel off if there's a groove in the rotor you found your problem.
