Front brakes changed it bc felt and heard grind very similar to when pads wear to base- front passenger side..
Noise still there, is there any way a bad caliper can cause this sound? Wear is even and nothing else is touching I went under and pulled tire off again to check.
It's not a squeak but a metal grind and can feel friction in pedal some when coming to complete stop

Have you checked the rear brakes? Just go under the car from the rear and check the backside of the rotor to see if they are getting chewed up. Often with slide pins seize up, it's the rear calipers and the inside pad wears away and starts grinding on the rotor while the outer pad and rotor face look good
