Front Left (I believe) Noise 2000 Teg LS

Hey so hear is the situation before I take it to my mechanic... Lately when I leave the car parked for a while and start driving, @ about 40KMs or so there is this metal rubbing sound
grr...grrr...grr...grr the faster I go the faster the sound... Now, after a couple minutes pass by the sound is totally gone. even when I stop and start again its gone.... But only comes back when I stop/park up the car for any extended amount of time... Bearing? Rotor? Rotor sheild? I Jacked up my car had it in neutral reved it up no rubbing or grinding sound/noise whatsoever. Engaged the gear and took it up to 40kms I think or so no noise? Must it be under load?

Any insight would help...

I'd rather no end up buying parts for things that work if you know what i mean!

Thx R

Yea, brakes, im almost 100% sure, I guess its because of the cold, and they are just warming up, what kind of brakes do you have on your car?

The front wheel should be able to spin nice and freely right? A bit of resitance on the driver side which I think where the problem is... Siezed caliper?
I dunno will take them off! This weekend...
