I had a post last week of my apartment gate hitting my back bumper last week right. So anyways now my car is making a scraping noise when I drive. My friend told me it might be my rotor all deformed now. I have no clue. It’s when ever I drive, turn, or brake. I hear this noise. Its not the bumper touching the wheel.
What do you all think?
Here is another pic of where the car got hit

Describe the noise in a little more detail.

 

Its almost like a metal to metal scraping noise. At first it was scraping when I made a hard left turn. Now its like whatever is bent is pressing up on something really bad. When ever I get to a certain speed its stops grinding or making that scraping noise. CAN ANYONE HELP??

take off your rear bumber, and take off your wheels.

Have a look around is the best thing you can do. Or, with the back of the car jacked up spin the rear wheels and see if you hear the noise.

Could be a rotational grinding or just something dragging.... You won't know until you see it for yourself.

 

True that,
thanks man!

 

My friend had this problem last week. It was his wheel weights ( I noticed yours are on the out side) hitting the metal bracket that holds the brake line. Maybe yours got bent in from the crash?? We did the same thing..Jack it up have one guy turn the wheel while the other inspects.

good luck!

 

thats possible also

 

I had metal on metal rubbing noise on my G20, turns out it was my wheel bearing.

 

I still haven't got a chance to jack the car. Will do tonight. I took a better look though, and I think its either the wheel weights, or the metal bracket. I just dont know which one is which. Whatever it is. I think its rubbing against my brake disk. . Thats not phuckin good! It sounds BADDDDD!
