Hey guys, I have an interesting problem. I recently did the rear brake swap from what i believe was an rt car (bought the parts used) now over the last few day I've noticed a thudding/whirring noise from the left rear. this is only when I go over 100 kph, or when I make a left hand turn. I thought it was a wheel bearing, but when I took it apart to change it today I noticed the wheel bearing was perfectly fine and that the rotor touched the backing plate when it was turning. The rotors and pads are brand new parts so I'm at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Was it constantly in contact with it? The backing plates are really thin. You can just bend it out of the way.

Are you taliking about the dust shield? If so, yeah just bend it back It's probably bent.

Yeah I guess dust shield is more appropriate, that is what is making contact. I tried to "clearance" it witha hammer to noavail. It only touches where the dust shiels has a lip almost the whole way around.

That's strange.... ANY neon rear rotor should fit fine with no issue as they are all the same. Next step is to try with a bigger hammer
