Okay, so.. I recently been having some problems of a rubbing sound coming from my driver side wheel. I changed the brake pad's, changed the rotor's and i just had the new rotor's shaved down. And yet it's still making the rubbing sound. Has anyone had this problem before? Any suggestion's what it could be?

If it is a metallic sound, check the backing plate. It could be lightly rubbing against the rotor. They are pretty thin metal and can easily get bent during a brake job.

How many miles are on your car? Could be your wheel bearing is going. But it's common, don't worry.

I checked that one. But, I think it's the bearing's going like the other guy posted. Thank's for the suggestion though!
