Brake question

[ISUrb33]

Ok, so while i was out of town someone managed to hit a curb in my car and now my rear driver side wheel makes a rubbing/scratching sound with each turn of the wheel. I replaed the rims in case they were bent, replaced all 4 rotors and brake pads in case they might have been bent. I am out of ideas. I was thinking maybe an axle was bent but im not sure. id gladly take any advice you guys might have. thanks.

Also, I upgraded the rotors with Baer OE rotors and the car seems to stop slower than before, any ideas? thanks.

Lesson #1: NEVER let anyone else drive your car. Even if you're in the car. There have been WAY too many Mustangs lost because they let a friend drive their car. While this was a minor bit of damage (compared to totaling the car), it could have been worse.

You could have a bent axle. I had that happen on the donor car for my current Cobra conversion. The wheel didn't look bent, but it would hang up every time the wheel rotated around. I took off the wheel and the caliper & rotor, put the car in neutral and had a friend slowly rotate the other wheel. I could then see the axle wobbling slightly - it was definitely bent. I suggest you give that a try and see if the axle is bent.

usually if you bend a axle in an accident the housing is bent too. happened to me, i believe it can be bent back if bent.
