Price, IMHO something is wrong with what has been done.
My thoughts..
I would suggest that you first check that the brake rotor is centered in
the caliper.
The dust shields can be easily bent back a little to clear the caliper but
if you didn't have a rubbing problem before the work it is unlikely that
the shields are the problem because you should not have needed to take them
off.
Are you sure that you reinstalled the BTC431 spacers that go onto the stub
axles before anything else?
