ES330 scraping noise when accelerating
When I give my 04 ES330 a bit of gas from a stand still, I heard this scraping noise and can't figure out where it's coming from. It's somewhere in the engine bay area but I cant' determine the cause. Anyone have any experience with this? I've uploaded a video for you to hear. It's faint, but you can hear it happen twice.

Hard to tell from such a short video. Exhaust leak?

I double checked the exhaust and no leak. Motor mounts are fine as well. It sounds like something circular is scratching against something. It only happens under load.

Hard to tell but it could be one of the brake dust shields rusting out, loosening, and touching the disk. If that's the case, either bend it back. Or remove it.
