Ghost brake issue

The brake on the driver's side front wheel seems to make a grinding noise when braking on snow, slush, or a very wet road. It never happens when the road is dry. It's only ever the driver's side front.

No lights or codes, and she seems to have good stopping power.

Is your pedal pulsing. You should be able to tell if your abs is activated.

Yes, the pedal pulses. Never had that kind of noise with abs before, so was puzzled.

Might be tricky to do an audio, but will try.
