Lowered the car yesterday and replaced the driver side rear wheel bearing. Drove the car around today and no problems. Left work started driving and started hearing grinding noises. I check the rotors and the driver side rear rotor is rubbing against the inside of the caliper. What could this be??!!

I had a front brake caliper dragging agains the brake after replacing pads. The shop told me the hub may be bent. Prob. not the issue, but its the first thing that came to my mind? Has the left rear been hit?

I know that the hub assembly was disassembled to press the old bearing out. I guess he could have bent it pressing it back in but I hope that's not the issue.

Good luck with your car, I think the hub is around $100 bucks or so if it comes to that.

Check the splash guard for the rotors. Could be grinding on the rotor. GL.
