Metal scraping on metal sound coming from wheels..

First of all my ABS & TCS lights are on....not sure if this is related...

Secondly, when driving my car I hear this disturbing scraping noise as if metal is scarping on metal.

It's definitely coming from the wheels but I cant figure out what the problem is.


Any ideas as to what this could be?

it's the dust shield rubbing up against your rotors (brakes, if you didn't know ) ...just bend it back, and all will be fine...

Also when your brake pads are worn out they have a saftey tab that pops out and its metal and it rubs the rotor, its annoying so that you will change your brake pads. Thats my guess.
