[Shotimes] SHO is making grinding noises

[Jason Hartberger]

Um, try making sure that the rotor dust shield isn't coming into contact 
with the rotor. I did that when I changed my struts, banged the dust 
shield into the rotor and it made the world's worst scraping sound... 
brakes on or off. Sounds a lot like what you're going through.

The noise started out as a mild "resonating" metallic sound, like something wheel-related rubbing.  It progressed to a horrendous grinding noise, any time the car is in motion, with brake applied or not.  I have to admit, I didn't notice the grinding noise til after I replaced the brake parts (had to roll the windows down to hear it).  I'm sure the noise is coming from the front.  Could it be something other than the brakes (cv joints?)?  With the noise I'm hearing, I'd expect to see metal shavings all over the insides of the wheels, but everything looks good.
