I have an integra and there is a noise coming from my from left fender well. Started happening awhile ago and is getting worse by the day. It happens on and off when im driving,the only way it goes away is if i slam on the and then comes right back. I was told by a few people it could be the hub bearing,so i replaced that along with the brake padsand rotors. Im all out of ideas on what it could be.

is it a scrubbing or a scraping? is it only during braking?

brake backing plate bent and rubbing on the rotor?

Ive check that already and there was a little distortion on the very bottom,i might think for some reason it is not rubbing on the rotor when the car is jacked but is when its on the ground,if i cant figure it out soon i might remove it.

how did the old rotor look? id look more at the caliper than anything else now that youve checked the other stuff out. make sure its not cracked or chipped or damaged in any way also clean of debris. it couldd also be that you have a sticky caliper. when youre driving or under braking does the car drift to the left? yo may just need to grease it up.
one more thing beofre all that...id check to see that you havent overfilled the brake fluid res.

? Do I know you? it hasn't made it for quite a few days so I guess it went away temporaryally. Hadn't had time to check out anything out recently.
