I just ordered the IMS retrofit, a new rms, clutch kit, and now I've got some scraping from my drivers side rear wheel. Sounds like a bearing, could be the parking brake partially engaged? Thoughts?

Anyhow, aside from the possible bearing, what's a reasonable labor expense? I'm in Los Angeles and have been quoted $1200 by my usual Porsche mechanic. I'd think he could throw in the bearing job for free at that price.

Is there anything else we should tackle while we've got everything cracked down there? I just hit 100,000 miles. New alternator, starter, serpentine, plugs, wires, o2 and MAF already installed.
