Default This sound like bad hub/bearing, or more?
OK, don't want to go into specifics but a couple of weeks ago a wheel spacer decided it was time to part ways with my car, and I ended up coming to a stop on 3 wheels from about 55mph on the expressway. The brake rotor was obviously trashed, but I was lucky in that because I'd just raised the suspension, the rotor was the only thing it had landed on (the frame or arms hadn't touched the deck).

I got a new rotor and threw it on last night. Bolted up fine but when it was spinning on the hub it was giving me a slight scraping noise throughout all of the turn. Also, when I put the caliper on the outer edge of the rotor would touch it at one point during the rotation.

Is my amateur diagnosis that the bearing or hub is damaged and should be replaced, or does that sound like it could be something else? Am picking up a replacement hub this weekend but just wondered if anyone had experiences of this type of thing and could advise.
