[Shotimes] SHO is making grinding noises

[Ian Fisher]

Bad wheel bearing comes to mind although I am
suspicious that you just worked on the brakes. Check
the torque on the caliper bolts. I actually lost one
once and that made all sorts of screeching and banging
sounds. I assume that the pads are seated ok and
nothing is on the rotors?
