Default Scraping Noise

Okay lets just say first off that today is a bad day.

Somehow my dumb A$$ managed to run over a middle median in a parking lot that was about 3 feet wide. The wierd part is, I have never even been in an accident or ever remotly damaged any vehicle. (bruised ego now) Luckily I didn't get stuck on it or mess up any body panels. But a mustang on 20's thats lowered doesn't do too well off road.

I bent a swaybar bracket for my bmr rear sway, and now the scraping noise from the passenger side has gotten progressively worse, its been around for a few days but just got worse when I did this.

Its got the sound of a wheel bearing, or a brake rubbing but I can't tell right now. On monday I am going to put it up on a rack to figure it out but with my poor diagnosis so far I don't know if anyone has experienced thus scraping... noise.

Well it's going to be impossible to diagnose this type of thing without looking under the car, you could have mashed almost anything under there.
I recommend you get the car up on a lift ASAP, you might have damaged brakelines or anything........

I looked under the car with the jackstands, I appeared to scrape up the body in some places, that looks about all thats wrong, no dinged wheels or messed up tires. But I have a feeling either the e brake cable became miss adjusted or the pads are slightly pressed into the rotor.
