2007 Hyundai Accent here, about 95,000 miles. The car drove without issue last night, and then as I'm driving to work this morning I notice an odd scraping sound like the sound of something dragging against pavement, but only when I'm going slow (under 20 mph). It sounds like it's coming from the rear underneath of the car. When I got to work I checked and there isn't anything hanging down that could be making such a noise. Any idea what this could be?

Geoj posted:Rear disc brakes? If so you may have a rock jammed between the rotor and it's shield. That could be. The noise sounds like a metal shovel scraping against gravel, so a rock would make sense. Is it still safe to drive? Both my wife and I rely on it to get to work and back at the moment and we probably won't be able to take it in to the shop until the weekend.

Krakkles posted:It's going to get more expensive the longer it's in there. It may dislodge itself (best case), it may stay there and eat up the rotor and pad. If it hasn't done much damage yet, it could still be "turn the rotor and reinstall". I just had our mechanic take a look at it and he said that the brakes are fine. v  v I'm kind of at a loss as to what to do next.
