i'm getting a bad sound from presing on the break pedal. When i'm coming to a complete stop there is a harsh rubbing sound coming from the front driver side disk break. It mostly happens when i'm coming to a complete stop and turning the wheels to the right. I don't think it's the break pads b/c i guest changed them in june.

any information would be greatly appreatited.

Check the hub bearing, if its worn the rotors will runn out of true with the caliper,will notice more if you are braking as you turn..

My 99 SE has the same braking characteristics that you mention. I noticed that there is a Technical Service Bullet #99-8-9 that has a title of "Groaning noise from front brakes during city driving". I am going to take mine in for service and mention the TSB.
