So I've been hearing some metal on metal grinding while braking AND while in motion, I figured it was brake pads grinding into the rotors so I put some new rotors and pads on. While the old rotors were warped, even after i put the new ones on the sound is still there if not worse after spinning the wheel while the car was on jacks. could a wheel bearing or caliper be the culprit? Any knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

It could be the ebrake shoes grinding on the inside of the rotor hat. I had that issue for a while.

How did you know your ebrake was grinding? And what caused it to do that?

I've sometimes driven my 2000 Tacoma pickup without releasing the ebrake (never for long) and it didn't seem to make noise; hardly knew it was dragging.
