Scraping sound on front right wheel
I get it mostly on left turns and it sounds like a metal on metal scrape. All brake components were recently replaced but I think the brake light has reappeared. No noticeable performance issue.
Anyone care to guess or lead me to check something?
Thanks.

My former 98 Disco had a simular sound coming from the front passenger side wheel - turned out one of the caliper mounting bolts pooped out and whenever I put the truck in reverse one end of the caliper would slid out and scrap against the rim, creating a loud metal to metal scraping noise. Bolts are cheap but check everything else to as advised above. Good luck.

My problem is that there could be up to ten days between diagnostic and sourcing the parts and I need the truck. While the mechanic doesn't think it's the brakes, the combination of the light being on now and the type of drag it's creating on left hand turns, I'm leaning towards that direction. Obviously this is going to require some time and effort so I'll have to find some other weekend. I'll let you know.
These aren't going to be Autozone parts I fear.
