I've recently noticed...
an intermittent scraping noise coming from the drivers side rear wheel area of my 88 Maxima. I just put some new tires on it about a week ago and soon after started hearing this occasional scraping sound, usually worse when I hit some bumps.
Anyone ever have this problem?...anyone?...

Shimoto, I don't have big, aftermarket rims, but thanks for the reply. The new tires are Bridgestone 195 60 15inch, which are the recommended tire size for the stock rims it rides on.
Thanks Charles, that is kind of what I thought it sounded like but it scrapes whether the brakes are applied or not. I put new front bakes on a couple of months ago and thought the back brakes would need replacing soon...

If you car has the rear disc, it could be you rear rotor is
warped slightly.
Might also be you emergency brake not releasing completely.

I have the same problem with my car, happens every so often. I discovered that it was the plastic guards inside the wheel-well were rubbing slightly against the tires on bumps and some sharper turns. I figured you can't expect much for some 15+ year old shields, they will probably hang so I just fastened them back into place and havn't had the problem since
the brake "squealers" you guys refering to shouldn't cause a grinding sound at all unless the brake pad is ground right down to the metal and would score the hell out of your rotars
check out those plastic guards, I could be wrong but it's worth a shot..also pull off those wheels and check your rotors for gouges just to make sure it didn't pick up some really coarse road dust somewhere.

my discs are pretty screwed up they squeal and the fronts are warped...when i get a job...probally seccond pay check (because the first will be the celebration/get rid of crappy computer parts check) i am going to replace the discs or have them remachined and get new pads.
i was thinking of getting drilled but not slotted discs because theresa alot of wet weather here but those things be mighty expencive

because one was warped slightly...
As I spun the wheel I could hear where the rotor hit the
caliper/pads then it didn't, then it did, etc...
I tried to have them turned, but they were below spec.
I had the new rotors trued to be safe, now there's no
noise at all...
Have you updated your web site concerning the turbo???
I'd like to see some more pics!
Thanks!

They only make a noise when the brake pads have worn down
to an unacceptable thickness.
Good point about the guards... could be that as well.

Are the rotors solid or vented (aside from being drilled!)?

Yes, there's someone on this forum doing just that,
thought it was you.
Sorry...
Scott (Now wondering who it was???)
