Most times that’s the splash shield coming into contact with the rotor. You might want to bend it slightly so that it’s a little farther away from the rotor. Another possible cause might be that the shims on the caliper might be doing the same thing so if moving the splash shield away doesn’t help you might want to look there.
When you say you “got them replaced” I’m assuming that you took it to a shop. If that’s the case, do not do anything to it. Take it back to the shop and tell them. If the mechanic messed something up and you touch it then they are no longer liable.
so where exactly is the splash shield on the caliper? and if that is the problem would i feel it on the floor of the car? also, most recently i hear the same grinding noise when i get down to about 5mph. only its pulsating like something is bent and it hitting. it shouldnt be the rotor because i just got them replaced. some other info is when im driving i hear a road noise coming from the passenger side tire but again it not constant. it pulsates and when i drive faster it gets faster. im thinking it might be a bent rim but im not sure.
The grinding is happening when you slow down between say
30-5 mph. is the noise heard while driving on the highway
and no brakes applied?no the noise isnt heard on the highway or driving at all. only when coming to a stop. and by that i literally mean 10mph and under. nothing above that
