i have a grinding coming from the front of my 98 and i thought it might be brake related because it got louder as i braked, it ended up being my front diff..
hope you have better luck.

try cleaning out everything really well. I have gotten a rock or something in the pads before and it made a really annoying grinding sound

Are you 100% certain that you have pad left on each side of the disc? That would be the obvious first thing, and since you did not mention it... Next I could suggest that you get them cleaned out, hose them off a bit. (NOT WHEN HOT obviously)

If you have metal on metal you need to get those discs turned and perhaps replaced asap. Certainly do not want to drive it anymore.
