Been a while since I've been able to post on here but I've got some time tonight...
Took ol' Blue out for a spin the other day and after a while I noticed a metal on metal scratchy grating sound. At first I thought it was just some leftover mud and crud rubbing against rotors so I cleared out a few dried mud clods and checked the front rotors for wear. Nothing unusual. Spun the rotors and didn't notice any unusual sounds whatsoever. Bearings seem fine too. The noise seems to stop when I hit the brakes ...maybe rear bearings are jacked. Just don't know what would cause this out of the blue.
Due to my current housing situation (apartments - hate em, but that's changing as of the end of May when my lease ends) I cannot adequately tear down the rear brakes for a proper inspection, but I was thinking the shoes must be wearing down to the nubs. I can't see anything else under there that would make such a noise.
