I noticed a squeak/very slight scrape noise when I had my car on a rack today and rotated the rt rear wheel by hand. First I thought it was the shield/backing plate, whatever you call it, rubbing the edge of the rotor. It was that sort of noise, or like a clip on a disc pad slightly rubbing the rotor. I have new pads. I will pull it apart tommorow, but I am intrigued by your post because what I DID notice just looking through the mag wheel is that on the suspect wheel there is a strip of surface rust area all the way around the disc, right in the center of it on the outboard side. It is like the pad is not making any contact in that area. The rest of that disc and the entire disc on the other 3 wheels are polished clean ( no surface rust) as you would expect from driving the car. What gives- rotor runout or a foreign object ( clip?) between pad and disc? I can't hear it when driving, but I can't hear anything anyway with those side pipes.
