Default Aweful grinding moise I can't find

I Did my brakes 2 weeks ago,Well yesterday on the way home from work a very aweful screetching from the rear pass side was going on......
I did the obvious things like check the pads and rotors....checked for rust or small rocks stuck on the rotor......I am working on taking off what seems to be a frozen wheel spacer and see if it's the wheel bearings.
Meanwhile it's undrivable do to the noise.any suggestions?

Check the pins on the caliper. If they get froze, they will prevent the caliper from floating and they will drag against the rotor.

I think he was suggesting fixing your problem by buying a 2011.

Ok the rain stopped long enough for me to find the problem......

As the Good Captain said "hopefully it's the parking brake then".......well YES it is...
All the springs and "crap" inside there was "floating"around and broken.so I will try to eliminate thoose broken parts and go without for now.......Since it's an auto I Never find my self using it anyway.I will fix it one day. now onto the Fluids.....

Glad it was only minor. That parking brake settup is a pain in the ass to work with.
