Default Grinding sound

My 85 just started to make a grinding sound like one of the calipers is draging in the inside of the wheel at low speeds, it seems to go away above 15-20 mph.
It is a rotational grinding sound.

I looked at the inside of the wheels and I don't see any makes from anything does anyone have an idea where to start looking? u-joints, wheel bearings, ect.

This could save me time trouble shooting when I get home tonight.

Cheers
Chris

...is there not a "warning" clip on the pads that, when the pads wear to a specific thickness, the clip rubs on the area nearest the center "hub" or hole as a warning that you are gonna need pads soon?..if you didn't take your wheel off, you might not have seen it....just an idea.....
