Help! E-Brake Scraping?
This afternoon I was backing down the driveway and pulled up on the E-Brake in an attempt to adjust it a bit and it grabbed fine. I released it and after cruising for a while, lowered the windows and now I hear a scrape-scrape-scrape that sounds to be coming from both sides of the rear on every wheel revolution. Any ideas? Car is an '03 Z06. Thanks in advance.

Havn't done it but there was a thread on it not to long ago.
Good luck and waves.

FWIW, I took off the back wheels and rotors and all was well. Know what it was? I didn't torque the front lugs last week (yep - cleaning the wheel wells) and I had loose nuts. (Stop it!)
