altima scrapping noise at wheel

97 altima with automatic transmission.

I made a mistake on trying pull the rotor out using gear puller out while ball joint was not dislodged from knucle. At the end I realized that caliper's two bolts to the knucle made half of the rotor out of wheel studs while on the caliper side rotor was stuck to the hub. I immediately remove caliper bolts and hang it to the strut coil.

Then I removed the rotor and gave up pushing axle thru hub. I disengae the ball joint and axle came out of hub very easily. What a mistake. Any way I installed the new drive shaft.

I had the trouble installing the wheel nuts because they might have damaged while rotor was under tension. But I finally tightened all wheel nuts.

During road test, I heard the scarping noise in drive or reverse or making any turns.

I put the car on jack stands on each front side. Engine running in dirve without gas pedal pressed at about 1000rpm (I was out looking at passenger side wheel), scraping noise came out wheel straight or tunned at any direction.

I need your suggestion on what might be causing scraping noise. The noise loud Any tips on locating exact source of trouble.

Check to see if the Backing plate is touching the rotor.

Jack up the car, in neutral gear, turn wheel manual and see where the scrapping noise is coming from. I removed the wheel bent the thin metal shield to fix the noise.
