changed the brakes and bearing on my wheels and now one of them is making a scratching noise about 60% of the time...sound speeds up and slows down with speed so it's definitely the wheels
maybe the new Hawk Ceramic pad...maybe the new bearing
any ideas?

 

Sounds like the pad isn't seated properly and is rubbing against the rotor?

 

maybe so...i just noticed lastnight on the way home and this morning on the way to work so i havent got to check it out real close yet

 

To be quite honest I haven't changed my pads yet so I am not too sure, but in looking at some DIY's i did see some people reporting the same issue. I think it had to do with not properly seating the pad, or pushing back the piston enough. I'm sure you can find the answer if you search for the brake pad diy's

 

I had an issue with the Hawk Ceramic pads for the rear in which the pad actually rubbed the hub because of their poor design. I had brake dust everywhere until this summer when they finally wore down far enough. Best thing to do would be to leave the car in Neutral and jack up each tire and spin them until you find the one rubbing.

 

Get on your knees and sy here kitty kitty.

If your lucky the cat will come out of hiding.

 

thats all i need is another cat walking all over my car
found it...it was that thin metal plate behind the rotor
it had a small bend in it and was rubbing the brake caliper
thanks for all the help guys
