    There is a really loud scraping(metal) sound coming from the front drivers tire. It's not constant but it does get longer and more frequent the faster I go, or as it gets hot from running. Thought it might be the wheel bearing, so we replaced it but still have the sound. The brakes are good, rotors are good. Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Backing plate rubbing on the brake rotor?

    This. It's happened to me a few times after doing some wheeling in loose dirt.
