Scraping Metal Noise (Possibly Left Rear)

[BamaTrav]

Referenced this with my post earlier today in the lifted section, but thought my question might get lost there.I just picked up my vehicle after Bilstein (all 4) and Daystar 1.5 rear spacer. Noticing a constant noise (when rolling) that sounds like the noise braking with rusty discs after a rain sounds like. Much quieter though, as I only hear it when driving past objects that reflect the sound. Anything related to the lift install that could create this sound? Thoughts appreciated as I have a long road trip on Thursday.

I'm stumped. But any chance you f'd up the eBrake assembly? Does it feel like its hanging up at all? Or maybe one of the dust shields?

Sounds like your dust shield is rubbing your rotor

Thanks Pitbull Rescuer and Krans. Will check dust sheld. I guess they could have hit it when reinstalling the wheels?

I did think maybe e brake was somehow engaged. Engaged and disengaged to no avail. Thanks.

Maybe just coincidence your brakes went down the wear bar just after the new shocks and spacers were put on?

That's what my truck did when it hit the wear bar. It was a light sound only when driving by something that reflected it.

Thank you all for your responses! It ended up being the front left dust shield. Must have been bumped during my lift install.

This would also be my guess.
