I have a 2000 Boxster S with 61K on it. So far, so good and this is my 4th driving season with it. Tonight, out of nowhere, I start to get a noise from my left rear wheel. It's like a grinding, dragging, clacking noise. I pulled over to look at it, and northing is interfering with the wheel. I removed the wheel and there's nothing in the dust shield. I'm guessing it's the shoes in the E-brake. I pulled on the CV shaft and noticed no wierd features there- the boots are fine. Has anyone run into E-brake or wheel bearing issues?
