weird scraping noise!!!
Hey, I got a slight problem...I just had a wheel bearing changed in my front passenger side. I dont know if this has anything do with it but anyways... I hear a weird metal on metal scraping sound on every revolution of my tire, only in that side...brakes are fine...its driving me nuts, one mechanic said something about a backing plate?? where is this located? does this make sense?
Let me know ASAP!! thanks.. |

Who did the swap? I'd take it back to them so they could fix it.
I don't know about any "backing plate" on a modern car, except on drum brakes. I have some front discs for a '69 Mustang that have a backing plate... Is the sound a sheet metal sound, cast metal sound, or what? |

It was midas who changed my wheel bearing...but I had another mechanic have a look at it, and he says its all good, the bearing was put in right...
Im not sure how to tell the difference between cast metal sound and a sheet metal sound... All I know is that its driving me crazy.. What else could it possibly be.??? |

Check your inside brake pads.

The noise has mysteriously come to an end...Im thinking that maybe it was a piece of rust that fell down and got trapped somewhere...and it eventually just disintegrated...but I guess ill never know...
Thanks for the help Scatch |
