Neal,
First note that back shock absorbers can make funny noises too. However if
you believe the problem is with breaks here is a couple of things to try.
#1 swap rotors with other side.
#2 take brake caliper and compress it like you were putting on new pads.
Then take a pair of needle nose vise grips and clamp off rubber brake line.
This will disable the brake on that side. Note that this is not "safe". Also
note your car will pull to one when applying brakes.
The first one will tell you of the problem is the rotor. The second one will
tell you if the problem is in the brakes at all.

Thanks for the help list. But even without the parking brake shoes the
noise continues. I can hear the rubbing of the pads on the rotor and am
more convinced that the rotor is the problem; it just seems too loose.
Maybe wheel bolts are too long to give a tight fit, but I really snug
them with a cheater bar. The basic sound at very low speed is the rotor
flopping on the hub and at high speed a constant rubbing and the
occasional bang. A warped rotor? Something in the brake hydraulics? I
guess it's time to switch rotors as a test as I'm getting a bit tired of
replacing parts with no effect. Thanks for the help .
