Grinding noise LS430 (2003)

Car: 2003 LS430

Hello
 

So, at some speed and when turning there was some grinding noise from the front drivers side . So I changed the wheel hub and the noise mostly disappeared.

Now the grinding is back again.! And I'm sure it's from the place. What can be causing this? Perhaps the replacement hub was knackered (as it was original second hand). Or may be something else?

 

Also when I reverse out of my drive I can hear a knocking sound which is most likely coming from the same place as the grinding noise. Not sure if this is related in anyway.

 

Any help will be much appreciated.

 

Thanks

I had that exact issue, it was the brake shield. I pushed it back and a little bit of it fell off, anyway the sound went away.

I've had a similar issue when a small stone managed to get wedged between the brake disk and the shield. Can't remember what car it was on but it's the sort of thing that can happen to any car.
