most awful noise ever

[american-rice]

Last night driving I start hearing a small screeching noise. Thought maybe it was my brakes since it was coming from that direction. But it progressively got worse until I had to pull over at a grocery store and call my buddy. I drove him around to see if he could tell what it was, because now its like a loud harmonic humming and screeching so loud its just flat embarsing. Went home turning heads where ever I went. Checked the forum. 1 either brakes ran out of pad, or 2 dust cover touching the rotor. This morning I look and see wear marks on the dust cover. Just some fyi if you start to hear some slight squeeling/screeching and you know your brakes are good, check your dust cover.

Seen this many many times, usually after working on the brakes though. Did you hit something? Those don't just bend themselves? Anyway, glad it was something simple.

Just an FYI. you may want to jack the car up and make your wheel bearing didn't take a crap and it letting the rotor hit now. I can't think of any reason other than that or the lugnuts being loose that the rotor start gradually hitting the backing plate and then get worse.

I had just bled the brakes. So I am pretty sure this is when it happened. I've been doing so much other work on the car though, I just got it back up and running. So on the maiden voyage, there was bound to be a few bugs to work out.
