    Just did my wheel bearings last night and while I was in there replaced the rotors and pads on both sides. Bled the brakes when done. Drove home from my buddies and there is a type of metal to metal grinding sound. Maybe the calipers are dragging? Any ideas on how to trouble shoot this or where to start looking?

    Metal dust shield bent up against the rotor?

    That was it, thank you! I am so grateful it's nothing to do with the calipers.
