Nissan/Datsun Maxima SE: Hi Replaced the front brake rotors

 

Customer Question

Hi Replaced the front brake rotors on a 1995 maxima se, now getting a scraping noise on right hand cornering/braking from left wheel. Sounds like a hung caliper, but not constant. Can a bad guide pin cause this, or is there another component that could be involved? On a definite budget here! Thanks, Joe

FIXITMAN : Hello joe, and thank you for letting us help you with your automotive question. Start by taking the wheel back off and checking the backing plate behind the rotor. This thin piece of metal tends to get bent causing it to rub on the rotor when the rotor flexes on turns. If it is close then bent it away. If it is not the issue then the rotor itself may simply be the wrongs size. Let me know if you need more help.
Customer :

Great! The rotor seems to be sized ok, will get back at it this afternoon and let you know. Thanks, Joe

FIXITMAN : Ok. Let me know what you find on the vehicle.
Customer :

Hi

Customer :

Hi It was that sheet metal, as you suggested. Couldn't see the scrape marks the day before, for some reason. Thanks, Joe
