Wheel heat shield
Well i heard a grinding , metal , sound that was coming and going from my front pass side wheel. It would stop when i stopped but really only happened at slow speed. After some searching i decided to push back on the shield and the sound went away. My guess is its rubbing on the rotor. Is this a common problem ? I bent it back and so far it has come back once again. Not sure if there is a more perm solution.

i had that problem once as well. except it was from my front passenger wheel and only happened when i turned the wheel all the way left and moved forward slowly. i just took a flat head screw driver and a small hammer, and gave the shield behind the rotor a few taps to push it back a little and so far no more problems.
