Rotational noise? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hello,
So I just lowered my car the other day and changed the transmission and diff fluid on my camaro (5th gen ss '13). After driving it normally I didn't hear any weird noises. However, after letting the car rest for a couple of hours, I hear a sound that seems to be rotational and coming from the back driver side. The way I can describe the sound is as if some part of my car is rubbing against something (metal?). This sound only happens when I am leaving my drive way on first gear and at very low speed (3mph-5mph). And I can count how many times I hear the rubbing sound which is about 4-5 times. After leaving the drive way and hitting normal driving speeds, the sound is gone.

Any thoughts about this. Thanks!

I would look at the backing plate and see if you might have bent it in a little where it scrapes against the rotor at times. If it looks close just pull it back a little and see if it takes care of the noise. That would be about the easiest thing it could be anyway.
