rubbing noise

[ineedabouttreefiddy]

I just recently noticed a rubbing sound coming from my front end on either one or both sides and sounds like it is coming off of my rotor. everybody knows the sound that a wear tab makes on a brake pad and this is exactly what it sounds like but it makes noise even at high speeds when im not braking or with my foot off the gas. I just had new All terrains installed a few weeks ago and thats about when i noticed it but it didnt worry me at the time. any help is greatly appreciated

Have you visually inspected the brakes for wear yet?

No i havent pulled anything off but they shouldnt make noise while im 70 on the highway right?

could be one of your front hubs, their wear sounds range widely however

if the pads are rubbing enough to make that sort of audible noise at 70 they're likely to be turning your rotors blue and all sorts of pretty colors

Alright, so ifs thats the case change it all? brakes, rotors and calipers?

How many miles does your KJ have?
The reason I ask is because the last time we had our brakes done we had a similar constant sound coming from the drivers side front and I knew the pads were worn to the wear tab, it turned out to be a seized piston in the caliper.

So yes, replace both rotors, pads (naturally), and calipers if need be.
