Default If my brake disc is rubbing the caliper...
4x4 Saff Cos standard front brakes.

Disc is rubbing caliper. Symptoms were "warped disc", so changed discs and pads, problem unchanged. I can see the disc has rubbed the caliper, bright metal on the caliper. With the car jacked up, I can move the wheel slightly and the disc moves slightly between the pads.

Before I waste any more money, is this a failed wheel bearing?

when it's off, make sure it's not rubbed through the abs sensor, otehrwise it's more hassle
