Just got the BDS / zone kit from Maxlider installed and I’m getting a really weird noise from my front left wheel. I’ll be bringing back into the suspension shop but curious if y’all have any ideas based on the sound in the video below.

UPDATE: it was simply the thin plate behind the rotor rubbing. Pushed it back with a screwdriver and all is well.

Watching this , look forward to what your shop says. I'm sure they'll take care of whatever the issue is. How does it look and feel, other than the annoying noise ?

Looks awesome and rides well too. I’ll let you know what they say. It may be that they slightly bent the rotor dust plate.

I have the same kit in the garage and a build date , hopefully, late November. Glad to hear the positives and hope the noise is an easy fix for you.

Thanks. I was wondering if that was it. I’m sort of hesitant to take a screwdriver to my new ride though to try and bend it back.

I’ve had a small rock get stuck in between the rotor and dust plate and made a similar sound. Take a flashlight and see if anything is lodged in there.

What specific lift kit are they using? Or is it specifically from Maxlider?
