Is the caliper hitting the rotor or is it the brake pad retaining clip that is hitting? I had that problem and I had to take the pads out and bend the clips and put them back in. I also had a terrible noise when my dust shield was bent and contacting the rotor on corners.

no not quite the same...i can see where the distance from where the caliper hits and ends on the rotor are the same as the length of wear i see on the rotor if that makes sense..so i dont think its the clips..ive heard of this problem before but no one has ever said how they fixed it?im thinking of just sayin F it and doin a c5 rear conversion..
