Its a hard noise to describe,its from the rear of the car for sure, but its similair to a whining noise but sounds more like a on off noise,so its not a constant noise, like a whir whir whir whir noise but only turning right,be it a roundabout or right hand junction,never a left turn and sometimes for a minute or 2 after the right turn in a striaght line but alot quieter

its a 95 classic with 4 pots up front, 2 pot conversion at rear with new godspeed discs and mounting brackets and kevlar new pads all round

I did have a simialir noise but alot worse when i used some 2nd hand pads on the rear,fitting new pads got rid of the noise,but a few mths later,its slowly returning it seems.

91k on the car,presume original wheel bearings but surely if it were them,id have noise when driving in a straight line all the time ?

i cant see anything rubbing,wheel on the arch etc,all bushes are good, powerflex rear bushes etc

any thoughts ?

 

Whir whir whir noises - usually wheel bearing in my experience.

 

What are the discs like? if they have a lip on it could be somthing like that touching the pads as the car corners, could also be a backplate touching the disc? Have you ever checked the handbrake shoes, they could need cleaning out?

Just my thoughts

Almo

 

cheers for input.

the discs are brand new
pads are brand new

handbrake shoes are good and well adjusted

its only when turning right below say 20 mph above this no noise, i tried to find it going round a roundabout,listening,but no noise at the speed of trafic etc

is a weird one,will startw ith the bearing and go from there

 

There will be some small play in your bearings , and on the backplate is a lip that runs in a groove in the discs , when fitting the kit on it sounds like you have bent the backplate slightly , enough for this lip on the backplate to touch the disc under cornering.
If you take the discs off , you will see where the disc is rubbing on the backplate as it will have rubbed off any paint or rust , just tap the backplate back in where its rubbing

 

Or take the backplate off completely

 

that would help the noise , but its the backplate you fit the caliper onto lol , your thinking of the heatshield , which you can take off

 

Ah, right......my idea would have been a BIT drastic, then

 

Otherwise, driveshaft if it's only when turning?

 

cheers,i havent had time to look yet, but the noise now is getting more frequent, even happening in straight lines but only when the car/brakes are hot and going slow.doesnt sound like a metalic whine tho

i even get the noise when the left wheel goes over one of those mid road spead bumps (ones in the middle of the lane) if i go slowly.

i dont get the noise when braking,but do seem to get it straight after braking,if i dont brake and take the bend/turning its not a bad

i have already removed the heat shields

very hard to describe,but a good description is it sounds like i have a seal in the boot LOL


cheers anyway guys
