First thing I can think of is a bent backing plate or dust shield. They are usually thin sheet metal with bends or ribs to give them strenghth but won't take much of a hit. A small tree limb or debri in rod can bend them and they will rub on rotor. Sometimes easy to miss if a tech isn't looking. HTH, davidj92
Hmm I will need to look at that one in person, please send on a boat to Australia and I will have a look for you. You dont mind me driving it a few thousand kms for testing purposes do you?
