    Just installed Icon CO's on my 2013 now it sounds like the brake rotor on the front passenger side is grinding while driving and free spinning the wheel. Any one have any ideas how to fix this?

    Check your backing plate for the rotor, might have bent it and its touching the rotor.

    Never feel like an idiot. I pull wrenches for a living and still bend the odd backing plate, they bend so easy its not hard to do.

    Don't feel dumb. Plenty of seasoned mechanics do the same thing every day. And also, it's not hard to bend them. :D
