Every time I start my vehicle and start driving forward it makes a loud like scraping noise

It stops when I apply the brakes and the noise doesn’t do it again until I turn it off and start it. I have recently replaced the hub and wheel bearing, like maybe a month ago. I don’t know if it has anything to do with it.

Hello,

This could be the brake pad squealer coming in contact with the brake rotor telling you that it is time to change your vehicle's brake pads. It could also be the dust shield that may have gotten bent when the new hub assembly was installed. Please inspect the brake/hub assembly that is affected, and get back to us with what you find out. We can go from there.

Thanks,
Alex
