Brake scraping? Or something deeper

So this month my 2000 civic sedan started making a periodic scraping sound whenever i brake and my speed starts dropping below 30 km/h got a full brake job done bc i needed fronts as well but i also asked them to check the wheel bearings which they said were fine,, but its almost like something is warped or i dont even know,, basically when ever the speed drops below 30km a scraping sound can be heard from the passenger rear side and as the speed continually drops so does the frequency of the scrapes,, i would just rather not spend more money before knowing what the problem is, thanks guys

Pop the drums off and have a look, might need cleaning/servicing, could also be slightly warped

Sorry should have added that pads rotors calipers drums and pads were all changed yesterday drove it today, still got the scraping,, im going back, but i just wanna know if it could be a bearing, axle bearing, bushings, or if it is forsure the brakes bc it only happens during braking

Re: Brake scraping? Or something deeper

Sounds like a dust shield may be tweaked in the front but you were saying you heard it in the rear. Made me think that something is up with the drums. Maybe not adjusted right?
Even brand new parts can be warped right out of the box, happened twice in a row with some rotors for my mom's car, stepped up to a better rotor and had no more problems
