The front, driver, side brake hose was rubbing against the sway bar. It had a small hole worn in it. For some reason the bracket that the brake hose mounts to the hard line was bent 90 degrees away from the normal straight up position. I have a feeling the bent bracket is related to when my son's high school auto shop class put new struts on the vehicle. The brake hose was totally routed on the wrong side of the sway bar due to the bracket being bent down. Very strange. I had to remove the front sway bar and disconnect the end link to bend the brake line bracket back up where it belonged. Got it all back together and bled the brake fluid. Brakes seem fine now.
