Question:

problem(i think)with my braking system.not a grind but more of rubbing sound?????

heres the problem and any help believe me is greatly appreciated(i am a minimum wage worker with not alot money) it is a 95 ford taurus.when i first drive,there are no problems until it seems like the car gets warmed up.then gradually a rubbing sound gets louder and louder.i think its a rub because the slower i go the slower the rub is,faster ,the faster the rub.heres the kicker,when it is wet out side there is no rubbing soundrub may not be a correct term because this sound is LOUD. if i spray my tire(back left)with water,the sound quits for a while. last little info but the most important, when im driving and this LOUD sound is constant, when i apply my brakes the sound totally goes away. if i ride my brakes there is no sound whats so ever,but as soon as release the brake, the sound goes right back to the loud annoying constant sound.ANY HELP at all would be greatly apprecited at least so i know what the problem is so i dont get robbed when i take it in thank you!!!!!

Answer:

a magnet like the one on your fridger is just treated metal and will melt at what ever the temperature metal melts at. as far as being magnetized, that is a physical property and once the medium's (metal) properties change then the whole magnet's properties change. it's similar to melting a candle.
If u have a good magnet the melting temperature is dependent on the material. Most all magnets will slowly loose magnetism as the temperature goes up. work harder at school thanks
If you have drums in the back its a shoe hanging up, most likely a bad return spring.If disc its likely a seized caliper the inboard pad is dragging on the rotorhope this helps you
depends on the brakes sound like a caliper is sticking if you have pads, or a shoe that is hanging up if you have drums. if pads you coulsd start the cheapest by doing a four wheel brake flush if pads you will need to pull the drum and inspect the hardware. most shops will do a brake inspection free.call around hope this helps.
Could be just cheap quality brake pads. in any way visit your mechanic and have it checked - may be you calipers are sized or something else - you don't want your brakes fail on you.
