Scraping noise coming from the rear end.

[Bouncin n my bimma]

Hey,
Today I noticed a loud scraping noise that can be clearly heard with the windows rolled down while driving. I think it's coming from the driver side. It doesn't go away when i brake and doesn't change really with turns. Sounds almost like something is scrapping against the rotor. It's pretty loud and seems to go with the movement of the car (The scraping noise is rotating in movement). I would think that a sticking caliper would go away with the push of the brakes but i may be wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Missing lining from the e-brake shoe.

A problem with the parking brake or backing plate (bent, something trapped between the backing plate and the rotor) would seem likely candidates.

How would i go about fixing this?

The first thing to do would be to check to see if the problem lies in the backing plate. If that looks okay, pull the rear rotors and assess the condition of the parking brake mechanism.
