If your pads are rubbing, then this would cause an overheating of the rotor. Which in turn would cause the rotor to warp, and cause a vibration. It would be noticeable when you put on the brakes. vibration at the steering wheel. If it is rubbing this would be caused by the brake hose deteriorating and clogging up, or the caliper is locking up. One other thing that would cause the noise and vibration is that the wheel bearing is going out. Have this checked. To check the bearing you can raise that wheel off the ground, Grab it on the top and bottom and try to move it, (not spin it) up and down, If there is any movement/ play , it's the bearing. Also while it is off the ground, spin it if it is dragging the least little bit and doesn't turn freely the caliper is not releasing entirely, to see if it is the caliper or hose , loosen the bleeder valve on the caliper, if it spins freely then, it's the hose, if it doesn't it's the caliper. Either way I recomend that you replace the hose on both sides, as they are old.Randy
Check the brake rotor on that side. it may be bad.
