Weird noise Weird fix

[ASmartMan]

Morning All

About a month ago a strange noise came from my front passengers side wheel, it sounded like I hadn’t driven the car for a week and there was rust on the disks and the sound that it makes when stepping on the breaks, except it was 3 times louder.

This noise was there for 30 seconds then went away until yesterday. This noise came back with a vengeance (sounding like something is rubbing the break disk), tone didn’t change when applying the breaks, tone didn’t change with a hard left or right turn, yet the tone did change a bit when hitting a bump.

I concluded there must be something actually rubbing on the disk, and there was,

A good size rock was atop my caliper resting there and rubbing the outer edge of my disk, I for the life of me can’t figure out how that rock could get there but there it was.

I don’t know if this has happened to anyone else or if it will ever happen again but the position of the caliper in reference to the disk makes for a nice “V” slot for something to settle in.

I figured I record this in the odd chance it might happen to someone else

Thanks for sharing the info. Sounds like an easy fix for a loud problem

I had a loud noise coming from my passenger side of my car when I would get on the freeway. It turns out the seatbelt was hanging out the door and banging on the side of the car.

I had a similar problem, but it went away when I dropped my wife off at work.
