Brake problem?
72 all new calipers lines pads new rotors in rear and had the front turned about 6 mounths ago. Front suspension completely redone this year rear done 2 years ago. Bearings seem good i checked tightness of all bolts
Brakes work fine,plenty of brake power but right front seems like the rotor is warped makes a grinding noise that can be felt in pedal and steering,dosen't make sound every time i brake and today went for a 5 mile run and only did it 2 or 3 times cold or hot dosen't seem to make a difference.

If you can feel something in the pedal I would look at all the componets for that brake again. You should be able to see an area that has metal to metal issues. I would also look again to see that the caliper was mounted correctly in that it is centered over the rotor. And last you can switch the left front rotor with the right to see if the problem follows the rotor.
Good Luck,
