Mornin all.
When making a left turn im hearing a pretty loud screech/squeek sound relative to wheel speed coming from the left rear wheel area.
I replaced the rotor thinking maybe it was warped and rubbing but the noise is still there.
Is there a universal joint or cv joint behind the rear hub that could be causing this?
If so, is it replaceable or would a new half shaft be required?
Thanks

 

I did replace the rear pads a couple months ago and the inboard pad was very tight to install. Im wondering if that might be the issue.
I'll try grinding the pad "ears" a little and see what happens

 

So... I take off the caliper and find i have the same problem as my earlier post... The upper slide pin will only spin and wont slide in or out.
So i put vice grips on the end of it and was able to get it out, it was not "sliding" for sure!
No visible damage to the rubber sleeve, but i suspect its just old.
I re-installed the pin without the rubber sleeve. Does anyone know if this will cause problems?
Im leaving on a 900 mile trip tomorrow so cannot order a sleeve in time
Thanks

 

iownme, it won't be a problem for the short term. Would I say to drive the car forever this way. NO. But, for a month while you get time to fix things, I don't see an issue. I would definitely get it take care of before they start salting the roads up in your area.

 

Thanks Thermo, i'll get them ordered while im away.
