New rear brakes/rotors.. grinding - A Theory

[abuck99]

Just drive it for a month or two- it will subside as the inside edge of the rotor and the dust shield wear in. New rotors may have some slight tolerance variance in how deep the area was milled where the E brake pads apply- also there may be some play in your rear wheel bearings that on left or right turns allows the axle to move enough to allow the inside rotor to contact the dust shield- its more of an annoyance than anything serious.

Thanks - good to know it will go away over time.
