This is annoying. Now my right rotor is rubbing against the outer edge of the caliper bracket and getting scratched! When I assembled everything the clearance seemed really tight...like barely a 1/16th inch between caliper bracket and rotor. The bracket is a junky raybestos reman that looks like it came from Saltville, USA. I ground off a BUNCH of thick rust on it and thought that would do the trick...apparently not. Wheel still turns smoothly by hand...so it must be shifting around only when driving/cornering.

I guess I'll tighten the bearing up just a smidge and grind a little more rust off of the caliper bracket. If that doesn't work I guess I need new bearings? Or does it sound like a defective/damaged caliper bracket?
