Wheel disc scraping sound when driving slow, help?
« on: August 01, 2018, 08:49:05 am »
Hey guys, hopefully someone can help me diagnose the issue I’m having,
When driving slow my rear wheel seems to be making a metal scraping noise, can replicate the noise if Car is jacked and wheel is spun.
As far as I can tell the noise stops/gets quieter when I press the brakes?
Any insight from anyone would be appreciated!

Thanks

I had the same last week on the rear, although the sound was quite loud.

It was a stone trapped between the disk and the metal brake guard thing at the back of the disc.

I took wheel off and shoved a thick bit of cardboard box between disc and guard and moved it around until the stone fell out.

Could be a seized brake caliper carrier.

when you spun the wheel did it spin freely ?  if you let go and it just stopped the caliper will be seized..  its pretty common on these.
