brakes squeel

[dill21831]

while driving I hear something probably rubbing against my driver side rotor but cant figure out what it would be, i lubed up the back of the pads and caliper bolt and checked out the retainers that hold the pans on and cant tell if thats whats rubbing, any suggestions would help thanks

It could be the caliper is starting to seize.
Or it could be a warped rotor.
Or the heat shield is loose or bent.
Thats all I can think of right now.

whats the heat shield look like, i dont think the caliper is seized, the rotor may be warped but im not sure, wasnt making this noise before i changed the pads.....

the heat shield is a circular piece of sheet metal that attaches to the spindle. It is about the size of the rotor and is directly behind the rotor.
When they get old they tent to rust, loosen, vibrate or even fall off.

What year/model do you have?

Maybe you installed them wrong. Reinstall them and make sure everything is right.
