So I had my brake pads changed at the Nissan Dealership earlier today, drove the car home with no issues. Later I take the car out to get some food, have the windows down, and notice what i can only really describe as a light metal scraping or grazing sound coming from the passenger side when moving. It doesn't matter if I'm on the brakes or not, and the speed of the noise gets faster or slower based on the speed of the car

I have no vibration through the wheel or pedals, the car isn't pulling to either side when cruising or braking.

Before I call the dealer to have them take a look at it tomorrow, is this a common thing after a pad change that goes away after the pads are bedded in? Or any common installation error I would be able to check for myself?

 

dust plate

 

Dust plate shouldn't be scraping just for changing the pads! Take it back to the Stealership and let them know it's making a noise, and shouldn't be!

could be shitty pads

 

Not normal.

Either a anti-vibration shim is touching the rotor, or a dust shield was lightly bent in and scraping the rotor.

Common thing to have happen, not dangerous, i'd prob pull a wheel and fix it myself but that's me.

 

I've done hundreds of brake jobs which was my business for a few years dating back to before disc brakes were common. I always spun the tire and listened for any noise that didn't belong before it came off the jacks. Dealership mechanics "Should be" well enough trained so there is no unwanted noise when your car is test driven...obviously some aren't and it shouldn't be a common occurrence! The dealership did the job, make them fix whatever's causing the noise. Rather than going to the dealership find a qualified independent shop to take care of your G! Only time Infiniti ever saw me was for warranty work!

Sorry for the late reply. It ended up being the dust shield behind the front rotor. Just had to push it away a little bit and all is well! Thanks for the help guys!
