Brakes?

I have a 1998 2500. I just had a brake job done pads and rotors. I also put on a new hubs (bearings) both front wheels. Now I've noticed that when I'm going about 25 to 35 I hear a sound that is like metal against the rotors. It stops when I brake or turn the wheel slightly either way. I also notice excessive brake dust on the wheels. Anybody got any idea what might be wrong?

Not sure what would be wrong, but certainly sounds like something is in the rotor or brake pad. Did you have it done at a shop or did you DIY. Did you go with a different shoe compound than stock.

I would take the front wheels off and look everything over real good looking for something out of place or rubbing.

Thats where I would start

I had it done at a shop. I've not had a problem with their work before?

dead squirrel

I had the same problem shortly after a brake change. Took the wheel off and found a dead squirrel lodged between the rotor and brake pad/caliper. Strangest thing I ever seen.
