I just replaced the front rotors on my 98 Volvo S70. Now, my driver’s front seems to be making a grinding noise at the end of braking - not usually/ever? when braking at higher speeds. This may be happening only after driving for a bit. Did the new rotors being a caliper problem to light?

You replaced the rotors? But did nothing with the calipers and brake pads? That’s just like asking for trouble.

Your question is a bit unclear but some of it is understandable. Your calipers are hanging up. Change both calipers and a set of pads. Do something about the damage to the rotors
