Actually it was the dust shield behind the rotor, must have been when I was messing with the control arm and checking everything out, straightened it back out and no more noise.

So now my car pulls to the right and it shakes pretty good when I hit about 60 on the freeway. I was thinking of doing my tie rods when I replace the spindle then get the alignment, would this be the direction to go? Control arms seem to be fine and tie rods just look pretty worn, I'm hoping that is what attributes to the shaking

could be tie rods but make sure you put your wheel back on well enough first.. torqued down in a star pattern?
