Metal sound from suspension only when coming to stop or from stop to go....

Hello there, I have a 2008 acura TL with 151k miles. A few weeks ago, I started having this problem where only when I would come to a full stop, I would hear something a long the lines of metal grinding on metal. The sound also comes out as I let go of my brakes and start to accelerate but it disappears as I hit 5+mph. It’s not the same sound as if you're rodors were shot. I took it to my mechanic who said that my front ball joints need to be lubricated. Last Saturday, it rained and the sound completely went away. So I took it to him today, and he fully lubbed both sides. I drove off and the sound is still there even though it’s slightly a lower pitch but I can still fully hear it. It’s pretty loud to the point where you can hear it from the outside the car. I'm guessing it might be something else in the suspension area. Any ideas?! Thank you

How are your brake pads? Sounds like they are shot and the wear indicator is scraping.
