More of a growl, wheel bearing. More of a scrape, check the dust shield behind the rotor, especially if the front brakes were recently replaced.

Nah, not a thread - a smilie. Like :iagree:, only the sign says "Call DE.50".

Then we can see how many newbies ask "Hey, what's up with the 'Call De.50' smilie? Who the f is DE.50?"

More like a scraping noise. No brake work and it's in the rear. However I will check out the dust shield and make sure it's not bent and touching the rotor.

I had a pebble get stuck and it made a nasty grinding/metal on metal sound. It popped out eventually.

I thought it was that but can't see any pebbles lodged in there. Gonna check out the backing plate in a bit and if all else fails I'll take it to the dealer myself instead of letting the spouse.

Not necessarily, mine had no growl but was scraping and it was a wb.

If you jack up the side making noise, leave the tire on and see if there is any play with your hands at 12 & 6. Also try at 3 & 9. If the wheel bearing is out you should feel some movement. Any movement is bad.

Thanks for the tips.

if you can actually FEEL the movement, that is VERY bad... lol

and dont mistaken 12 and 6 o'clock with suspension movement.

If you have 12 & 6 suspension movement by hand that's bad also.. I know I can't compress my springs by hand..

We just pulled apart both rear sides. No play from the wheel bearings. No pebbles. Pushed the backing plates a little bit further away. Adjusted the parking break. Sound wasn't there when there was no load on the car.

Keep forgetting to take a video for a sound clip. :/

Maybe try putting the rear end on jack stands, putting the transmission in neutral, turning both wheels in the same direction to see if maybe something is rubbing on the drive shaft

Personally I would also do the same inspection on the front that you just did on the rear. Sometimes noises travel it sounds like the back but it could be the front

How much rear brake pad was left on each side? Is there a possibility the squeal tabs could be hitting the rotor?

Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

Nope they are pretty much brand new still. I've only driven the car 6,000 miles and most braking is done by down shift.

Try to make a video so we have a better idea of what your hearing

No possible way to make the video now. My husband took it with him to work today and brought it back with no more noise. Something to do with the amount of camber I had some how making my stretched tires squeak. They aren't that stretched but what ever at least the sound is gone!

Well at least the noise is gone..lol
