Check that the wheel is not hitting the caliper housing.

Subject: '88 Vanagon disc brakes

Just did a complete front brake job. New rotors, new races,  bearing, and
seals. Well lubed. New Girling pads. Adjusted bearing washer pressure per
Benley. Peened new lock nuts per Bentley.

During test drive, there was/is a random scraping sound apparently coming
from the right front wheel. Removed the wheel, inspected the rotor and
caliper assembly, but found nothing.

Any suggestions?
