All right I decided on rephrasing my post since it was kind of annoying to read.

So lately my right drivers tire has been rubbing when I brake and whenever I would go over speed bumps. So it seems like it only happens when it's under pressure.
When I let go of the brake it makes a *clunk* sound from it. There would also be a screeching sound at times as i drive.

Please help! My car is lowered but then I have never had this problem before!
The problem only started occurring after I had gotten an engine swap. Could it be a problem from the process of putting my axles back on?

Thank you to all that have put their input in here!

anyone..?

 

I think I have a similar issue you are having, but mine is with my rear driver's side brake/wheel.

Anyway, I am going to check out my brake pads. I know they are old and might need changing. I am also going to bleed the brake fluid.

How old are your pads? How old are the calipers?

 

i dunno how old. but the car was running fine until i busted the engine and got a new one put in. someone help!

 

I had something similar and it turned out to be my sway bar end-links. It eventually became a disgusting growling creak after a while and I finally just tore into the suspension and brakes until I figured out what it was, thought I would throw that out there, to check if that is in fact the case, disconnect your front sway bar good luck man, hope that helped!

Hit me back if you need a picture of the area that I am talking about!

 

hahahha. i sure do need some pics bro! thanks for your guys input so far! i really appreciate it!

 

help please!

 

help please.. the rubbings getting bad

 

I will post pics tomorrow afternoon, I can almost tell you for certain that if it's getting worse so quickly it is very much the problem that I am thinking it is.

(EDIT) Hey man, good news for ya, found a pic in my photobucket with the sway bar end-link in it! It's the golden piece in the middle, remove the big bar that it's attaches too and disconnect the endlinks on both sides of the front suspension and see if the noise stops!

man it sounds like a freaking thunder storm turning into the school parking lot!

 

I added the pic for you, check it out :D I totally know how you feel, the noise was at times humiliating for me! Made my reasonably nice ride sound like total crap!

My ride btw,

 

hahaha thanks a lot dude. i was looking aorund there today on a hoist and it turned out to be a missing radius rod bushing, washer, and nut. I guess the person who did my swap forgot to put them back on. or it came loose and fell off.
anyways. thanks a lot for your help! i really appreciate. Nice ride btw 4WS is so awesome
