Has any body had a seized caliper sound like parts flying off there car? It sounded like my rear quarter pannel was coming off and flapping against the car or like I ran something over. I thought maybe a catastrophic wheel bearing failure but its solid, I think the caliper has seized but I have never heard them make that much noise before???

Fender well loose? Could be a loose underplate...

Could be worn pads, I know they make some noise when they start to wear down.

Or it could just be junk built up - I had the same issue (pads are fairly new) and sprayed it all down with brake cleaner and no more noise...

I think it might be the brake shield thing. If been replacing my fuel filter pipe and thats when it started but the pipe and stuff is all down tight.

I had it looked at it turns out both my back calipers are seized and arnt making contact on the back side so the rotor got all rusted but its still shinny on the out side but the occasional time the caliper works it makes a horrible scraping noise.
