hardcore brake grinding....

need your opinions...... but before i start some info, im running the blehmco bbk and i recently swapped over for iron calipers instead of aluminum, new rotors, pads and fresh fluid.... ever since i have a naaasssttyyy grinding, the only thing i can think off is that there is a clearance issue with the iron calipers, i am awaiting a confirm from matt but i need intel....

thanks guys.......

already did and theres no griding when i do, i got all up n dirty peek a booing to see if theres a clearance issue and i see non, so im stumped. im about to put the old calipers on and see if it stops, just dont want to have to rebleed if i can avoid it.

the driver fron has a bad bearing, however the noise is coming from both sides and with the previous calipers it never made the noise, so ive kind of ruled that out.

I would say it's a clearance issue, was the grinding when braking or constant?

Why drive around with a bad bearing? If you have a bad bearing, they make noise as you describe. Replace it.

Your caliper is rubbing your wheel.

i have the same problem randomly and i know its not the wheels rubbing the caliper because its been doing it after 2 sets of wheels and neither set show rubbing wear on the back side of the wheels. i would say maybe a back caliper because of the wear on the brake pads. so i would say check the calipers and brake pads...
