   My back drivers side brake keeps making like grinding sound as got grooved discs but goes away when been using for a while and sometimes does it when pushed brakes hard. Do i need new pads but its just the 1 side or is something up with it?

   sometimes they are worn, sometimes they get grit stuck between the pad and the disk, sometimes there is no pad left and its the metal backing plate grinding against the disk
   
   unfortunately your going to have to get grimy and take a look at them to find out
