Strange noise from Rear Driver tire, sounds like metal on metal chirping
2002 C32 AMG
I swapped my suspension over to stock last weekend and went to drive it today, and I can hear this chirp/metal on metal noise from the rear driver tire.
I put it on my lift and turned it by hand and heard the noise, but cant pinpoint where it is coming from
The noise is even there when I remove the wheel and turn the rotor by hand (2 lug nuts in for grip)
I pushed the brake shield back a bit and that didnt do anything either
Anyone have any clues?
Edit:
Wheels and lug nuts are STOCK, same ones were used, no rotation was done

Sounds like something is loose or coming into contact with the suspension. Could also be exhaust flanges. If you put it on a lift, try having someone spin the wheel and put a long metal rod to your ear to track down where the sound is coming from. We both have c32’s and I’ve never heard something like that. It’s pretty audible so get back to us with what it might be

Had a sound super similar to that. Turns out whoever put my new wheels on put lugs on that were not correct and one snapped off. Needed new lugs, wheel hub and e brake cable
