Thread: 2001 metal scraping sound suspension???

So let's gist start saying I changed the brakes last night and noticed nothing out the ordinary.

Whenever I do left turns from a stop or on the highway and go left I sometimes get a scraping sound kinda like a little piece of metal scraping against something(like a hissing scraping sound) on the wheel area. With the wheel of last night I changed the brakes and didn't notice anything wedged in the brake shield or anything. Everything looked as it should've. I heard it might be the iwe trying to engage 4x4 but when I engage 4x4 while it happens to see if it stops like some suggested nothing happens.
The only way for the noise to stop is I have to slow down and get back under 35mph. As soon as I hit 35 it stops. This noise used to be intermittent but now it's cold I can always expect it to happen every time I drive. I just slow down and it stops until the next tone it decides to do it again.
I'm literally at a loss cuz I don't know what this could be. I'll get a video of it later this afternoon but just thought if anyone knew what it is.

I've ruled out these(only because I know what they are like). It's not wheel bearing, iwe, brake pads.

Any help would be appreciated. I can't get into the mechanic until next week so just thought I might check it out if someone can give me a direction.

Hey dude. Welcome to the forum. I had a similar noise.( hard to nail down without hearing it) come from my 03 150. Turned out it was the hub. I can't tell u that's what your prob is on your truck. But that's what it was for me. After thinking it was my brakes

Thanks for the fast replies. This is a good community. I will get big once I get off in about 5 hours. I'll check into the hub and see, thank you very much for that.

I did find a video of what it sounds like. Exactly what the guy says in his description is what's happening.

I'm not sure how to tell that. Never had a bad caliper.

maybe your new rotors are rubbing on the backing plates? Mine did it until I pulled on the new ones. My left side has a noise but it sounds like rubber rubbing

I don't have new rotors. Just new brake pads. Rotors were good tho when I checked then with the wheels off.
