Help me diagnose scraping noise from the rear (2 Viewers)

[xychromosome]

I’m currently experiencing a sporadic scraping sound coming from the rear driver side, I’m assuming from the wheel given how it sounds ‘rotational’. The sound is most pronounced at slower speeds and goes away when I apply brakes. I inspected the pads and they appear to have plenty material left (they were replaced less than 20k miles ago. I don’t see any evidence of leaks and doesn’t appear to be the caliper as I don’t feel any dragging.

Any suggestions? Thx!

Did you also check your e-brake?

Tough to tell without a recording as there's a multitude of "possibilities", but here's my experience with rotational scraping...

Parking Brake re-assembly tips

Yes. Replaced mine before the noise began. Happened on my 4Runner and was obnoxious. You described what a PIA the fix is very well. That tool is a keeper.

Thanks all. Def looks like the issue. Also found GX460 Bob's video on it.
