Default Help! Rear Passenger Wheel *Video Inside*

Wassup guys Im having a issue with my car right now, as I was getting home tonight I was looking for a parking and as I reversed I heard a noise come from the rear passenger side so I turned down the music and this is what I heard..

I recently replaced my front and rear sway bar bushings and had E break and break pads replaced about a year ago this month. Also installed spacers a couple months ago. Any idea what it can be?

have you tried to spin the rear wheels by hand and jack up the car to see if it persists?

Sounds like the dust shield behind the rotor is rubbing the rotor.

I bent the dust shield back and it didnt work I checked my breaks n they still have good life on them and the disk has no sign of scratch or rub on it.

Could it maybe be the ball bearings? or axle?

Check this out. I just recently changed my rotors and pads all around. I have had this issue on my IS300 as well. The groove slot, or however you want to call it was causing grinding. I ended up pulling the rotor off and grinding down the rotor groove a little on the bottom and the noise has stopped.

Might just want to check it out. The noise was an annoying scraping noise, but would get louder if I put a load on it by turning.
