Q: Rock damaged part and now it sounds like mental on metal rubbing
It doesnt seem to be the brake rotor dust sheild that i am looking at. The rock hit something just off from the center of the the front of the car on the driver side. The part hangs down the furthest of anything else on the bottom side of the car, and there is another one on the passanger side. Any clue what the part might be called?
