Horrible noise from front wheel, rotor shield touching rotor????

Hey,
I was driving home from the gym today and i heard this awful noise coming from the front wheel. I took the wheels off the front and noticed the shield behind the rotors is very close to them. I pushed the drivers side one (the one making the noise) away from the roto and the noise went away. Thing is the other one looks too close for comfort too. Anyone else have this issue?? Anything wrong with just removing them. I am thinking of tossing them out. Please advise

I dont think you should throw them put, but I had that problem with my rear driver side rotor sheild rubbing when I lowered my car. I brought it back to the shop and they did the same thing, its all good now.

I wouldn't remove them. Just bend them away enough to stop the noise (like you've done).

Don't throw them out. They're there for a reason.

Just bend them out of the way.
