Sheetmetal scraping sound from rear of Kirkham

Here is what the rear looks like, I'll put it on my lift again and check driveshaft and half shafts.

I see a brake hose rubbing on the top control arm, the braiding is fraying, and a rub mark on the control arm is evident.

Good eyes Gary! Whether that was it or not, it definitely needs to be addressed.

Parking brake fouling wheel

Quote from Tom K.
Yes the tolerances are very tight. Unfortunately the tolerances on the rims are not so tight. This is further compounded by our customers wanting the biggest rotors they can get. The original rear rotor diameter is 11.2 and we are now using an 12.2 inch rotor. This helps in braking performance; but makes the brake package very tight.

If the e-brake caliper is left on and driven in reverse, the rotor torques the e-brake caliper out far enough that it can then catch on the rim. This in turn tweaks the caliper out enough so it will drag on the rim.

You will need to loosen the caliper just a little bit and tweak the caliper back. Of course you will then need to retighten your caliper. You will also need to dress up the caliper arms.

Yes, I don't think that is his noise, but needs to be looked at.
