Driver side scratching noise after new wheel bearings

Hello I’ve just had new wheel bearings put on the truck and the passenger side is fine but the driver side is making a scratching noise like metal on metal anyone know what it may be

 

Could be a lot of things but to do bearings the dust shield has to come off.
Maybe they bent it (dust shield) and it's hitting the rotor.

 

Front or rear?

 

you should add problem description in title.
more people with knowledge might check it out.

 

Front driver side

 

Jack that corner up and spin that wheel by hand.

Report back what you find.

 

Ok sounds good

 

It was dust shield cover mechanic said it’ll burn off while I run it

 

I don't know if I'd use that mechanic in the future. Seems kind of lazy.

That is an easy fix. Why doesn't he try to keep you happy by making the noise go away?

It's not hurting anything the way it is, but I don't think it's gonna "burn" away.

 

Yea I don’t think it will either I’ll give it a week or so and if it’s not gone I’ll take it back again

 

"Burn off" lol

Crawl under there and gently bend the dirt shield away from the rotor, see if that helps. Hopefully he didn't leave a caliper bolt loose or something

 

Lazy mechanic. ANY decent shop would take the 5 minutes needed to zip off the wheel, bend the dust cover back properly, and then replace the wheel and torque to spec. THAT is how you keep a happy customer.

 

OP how much did you pay for this wheel bearing job?

 

Bend it back not let burn...wtf. you need a new mechanic

 

Burn off? more like Grind Down.

the heck?

 

Paid with a 12 pack type mechanic? Those are usually backyard mechanic's advice, issue will self resolve.

 

I’ve had this happen. They are usually pretty easy to bend away from the brake disk.

 

Yea grind down is the better word to use he said burn off

 

This thread has gotten very entertaining!

 

Thats better
