Help identifying real wheel noise ?
 

Hi all

Mot time in 2 weeks so need to get this sorted.
When turning right I've got an on off scraping noise coming from the drivers rear wheel area.
The harder I turn in the louder it gets.

Sounds like the pad on the disc if I'm honest.... ?

Wheel bearing ??????
Just to add it only happens when I turn right so no load on drivers side :wonder:
Cheers

From what you describe it does not sound like a wheel bearing noise as that is more of a rotational noise but cant discount it.

Will either be CV boot or worn pad is my bet

It's definitely rotational but only round islands or hard right turns, I've also noticed it when braking hard although there is still plenty of meat on the pads...

I have about 6-7 mm pad material left on the outer drivers rear pad but have not checked the inner pad

Check for stones ;)

This might help

Some useful info there

I will check for debri stuck around the pads too :thumb:

My guess is rear brake back plates have corroded and swollen slightly. It will give a metal grinding noise, and more pronounced when going round corners. I had mine done on my widetrack a few weeks ago.

It can be a pig of a job. The long bolts at the bottom of the hub sieze, would recommend a good soak in tec-7 penetrating spray or similar to all threaded areas a few days before starting the job. Especially if you are getting a garage to do it for you.

After a drive, see if one rear brake disc is significantly hotter than the other - be careful, just a quick touch.


Also, more brake dust on one side? My OSR wheel had almost as much brake dust on it as a front wheel and was a good 3 or 4 times hotter than the NSR disc after a run.


Turned out to be my OSR inner pads and knackered rusty old discs with a fair old lip. Just changed rear discs and pads, problem solved.


My inner rear pads were a lot more worn than the outer ones. Handbrake is also now greatly improved.

Just had a quick look and the back plates are rusty as hell so this may be my culprit :thumb:

Think I'm overdue a disc and pad replacement on the rear :thumb:

I was told that you should replace both wheel bearings too when changing the backing plates, I think it was only an extra £40 per side.

Well I pushed the plate away from the disc last night and the noise has gone so corroded back plates is my issue :thumb:

Thanks all
