Hello all.
I've had this problem with my handbrake for a while. Pretty much when I'm driving along I hear this scraping sound, it sounds like there's a bump in the inner drum of the rotor and the boot is scraping it (It's not one constant scrape).
But interestingly enough when I pull the lever up a notch or two, the scraping goes away and it's quiet.
I figure something is loose? The hand brake is currently a bit loose, takes about 8 clicks to work. But the problem was still happening when it was nice and tight. Actually thought I over tightened it so I loosened it a bit.
And thoughts on what I should inspect?
