Driving home from thre powder coating shop today and all of a sudden this horrific metal-on-metal noise starts up from the rear passenger side.
Towed the car to PCH Garage for a checkout on the lift. Turned out the bolt holding the dust shield vibrated loose and the head began rubbing on the rotor. Whew.....that was sweet. I’m back on the road, glad to have caught in now instead of finding it happening on the trip to Monterey next month Attached image(s)

I've had pebbles and once a rusty nail get between the dust cover and the rotor. What a racket!
I've also put my spare on and had my lug bolts go THUNK THUNK THUNK against the dust cover becasue they were for alloy wheels which are thicker then steel. That was my impetus for moving to wheel studs and lug nuts. No one wants to deal with THAT nonsense. Zach |

Will a 1/4” wheel spacer solve that ? |
