So you're saying it fixed after torquing down the axle nut some more? If so, that makes sense, if the wheel bearing isn't firmly clamped it can let the hub (and therefore rotor) wander and touch things that it would not if it did not have play.

One of the warnings in the shop manual is not to roll the car if the axle nuts are not torqued to spec, because it can damage the wheel bearing, so that would be something to keep an eye on, if you did drive it any.

I didn't use a torque wrench either, just used a long breaker bar parallel to the ground and stood on on it a certain distance from the end based on my weight, I don't have the formula handy but it is easily found.
