Q: Loud noise like metal to metal
I'm hearing a loud screeching that sounds like metal to metal, I just got done changing my brakes. I lifted the truck to see if I could rock the tire back and forth but I can't, thinking it might be my wheel barring. The brake tabs are fine. It is on a 2001 dodge dakota. Any suggestions?
