well, i took off my wheel that has caused me the thumping problems. it feels as if my rim is bent or something was rubbing. sure enough, i jacked up the front and took off the wheel. i grabbed the studs and hand-spun the hub and at one point in revolution the rotor slows down when contacting the brake pad and gets very hard to turn. therefore, i think this is causing the "thumping" when driving.
how would i go about fixing this?
would i replace the:
-rotor
-brake pad
-or both(?)

please help!! this rubbing is annoying!!
