bdcvg Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Just installed a steel wheel snow tire package and now there is a grinding noise during sharp turns. I assume it's brake disc grinding on something, is there really that much deflection in the brake rotor or is My wheel bearing a little sloppy? I'm going to put this thread in tire section too.

rougeben83 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 check your tire or wheel for any rubbing. Could be something as simple as a brake dust shield rubbing on your new wheel setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyt88 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 what does the grinding sound like? metal on metal? plastic on rubber? Your mom on.... nevermind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdcvg Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 It's metal on metal. Makes Me think of the rust ridge that developes on the extreme edge of the brake disc grinding on the caliper bracket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derp Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Both sides? Is the wheel offset right for your calipers? Any changes to your brakes recently? I could suck start a snow blower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both sides in the rear seem to rub although right turn is louder than left turn. The package was vehicle specific from Tire rack so I assume the offset is good for stock brakes. I have not done any brake work, maybe My pads a super skinny and it's time to eyeball them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funnyman06 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 typically even if the wheel bearings are bad its the rotor that rubs on the dust shield. I find it hard to believe that anything in the rear would rub. The front is far more likely to rub due to the larger rotors and caliper. ex: LGT calipers and rotors would not work with standard 16in steelies because of clearance issues upfront. Take a photo of whats rubbing in the rear, it should be pretty obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norskie Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Pull the wheels and look for evidence of contact on the inside of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdcvg Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 this^^^^ Did that first and saw no evidence of rubbing inside the wheel. The wheels are 17's so should fit fine. The stock wheels did not produce the noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
