Brake discs scraping against carrier
Discussion
Hi guys, looking for advice with my car, it's a Fiesta ST with Mondeo 300mm brake upgrade.
A few weeks ago I had the wheel bearing and hub face(Front left) changed at a garage and it was fine for a while but recently there have been the three problems:
i) Loud screeching when turning hard left
ii) When reversing and turning there is resistance and grinding noises from the front end, can feel the car bogging down.
iii) on/off squeaking from the front left side which speeds up as the car does, sounds like pads rubbing against a warped disc.
So today I went to change the left disc thinking it was warped, when I took it off I noticed a very bad cut around the rear of the disc which lines up perfectly with the bottom of the carrier, I assume this is where the first sound is coming from. I put the car back together and the 3rd sound is still there so not a warped disc.
Anybody got any ideas where I go next? Can't work out why the carrier isn't aligned properly and this wasn't an issue until the bearing and hub plate was changed...
