Wierd noise in rear end
Hi guys,
I'm hearing a wierd screeching/clunking noice coming from the rear end of my car. I just had new rotors put on a couples days ago so there may be something rubbing? Also when I'm on the expressway I feel a slight wabble, nothing too crazy, just not as smooth as it should be. I just bought the car a week ago so it just went through a safety. I'm not sure if this is normal for the car to be riding like this. Any suggestions would be a great help |
Wobble could be wheel balance.
Jack up the car and spin the wheel in the air see what's making the sound. |
The screeching/clunking noise sounds like the brake pad alert bar (I forgot the technical name). Basically it is a metal bar that extends from your rear brake pads that lets you know when they are getting low. So, your brake pads could be worn and/or something is off balance which is making the bar come in contact with the rotor (which goes along the lines of what you were stating about the other issue). Check your pads and check the wheel balance and the rotor balance. The rotors could have been put on off balance.

the brake pad indicator does not clunk, is the noise speed sensitive.

Gotta get it in the air as said.
Oh..........I say check to make sure your lug nuts are tight. :dunno: Can you tell which side it's coming from? |
i agree, tighten down the lugs and make sure the wheel is properly mounted. sounds stupid, but it happened to me!
