Source of Annoying Noise...Found! | The De Tomaso Forums

marlinjackThe Machinist #5723 AMARGOSA MACHINE 'Running on Empty- Middle of Nowhere'

...Here's one 'For the Books'! For Hundreds of miles, driving, Everytime I came to a Stop, I would hear a 'Dragging/Chaffing' Noise.

I searched and searched, Brakes and Pads, Tire Interference. Rubbing of Stainless Brake Line?...Nothing came up! Since I had the front wheels off, I decided to check the Wheel Bearings...and Found this, A poorly Trimmed Cotter Pin, rubbing on the grease cap! Easy Fix. Although it was all Greased to the Max, it still produced a loud scraping noise. See Wear Mark.

CONGRATS! So satisfying to solve a mystery! Especially one that doesn't cost you hundreds of $$$'s to fix!

Marlin I'm surprised you could hear that. Most of our cars are pretty loud.
