Hey everybody. I did the zj rear disc conversion a few months back and I think I know what the noise is but I figure I would ask. Every now and then when I make a right turn I think I hear the rotor rubbing on the back plate (the thin metal part). Its a metal to metal rubbing sound( not grinding just rubbing). Sometimes I hear it during normal right turns around town and at faster speed like exiting off the highway. I just started hearing this yesterday while I was on a long trip somewhere between 300 to 400 mile. It isn't my DD. I use it to putt around town and for bad weather. Now I haven't acturally crawled under to look yet but will do soon. My question is if the lug nuts are tight(which they are I checked that already) how and what would flex to make the rotor rub on the backing plate while Im turning?

more flexing goes on back there than you think, but just make sure the backing plate is far enough away where you can fit your pinky or a screw driver between the rotor and it, and check your pads maybe something got stuck in there

Didn't think there would be alot of flexing in the axle but I will double check my spacing between backing plate and rotor once I get a chance.
