Hi everyone,

I'm having issue with a brake squeal/grinding/chirping sound coming from my rear right wheel well. I had it checked twice but we still can't find the issue, I'm looking for suggestions.

Few notes:

Had the wheel bearings checked... no issues
Was told that it COULD be the brakes but not for certain.
The noise only occurs after driving for a while (10 min or so) or when driving at higher speeds upwards of 60 mph (ex. highway)
Noise has been consistently getting louder.

Appreciate any help in advance aaand Murry Christmas and Happy New Year

 

Does it only happen when braking, or always happening? I have no sound so I can't listen to the video.

 

is it that hum in the video? that doesnt sound like brakes to me, how did you check the bearing, and what does the diff fluid look like... any leaks or anything back there?

 

It always sounds while the car is running.

But the sound only occurs about 10 minutes into driving and gradually get louder.

 

Hmmm. That's what I thought as well... but I took it into a local shop thinking it was the wheel bearing and they told me that it wasn't it.

 

That sounds horrible, do you ever use your ebrake? Try pulling up on it and see if the sound changes or goes away.. It sounds like something is rubbing the tire... But that should be visually obviously not the case.

You brought to a shop and they couldn't figure it out?

 

Is your mechanic named Tommy? (Let's see who gets that reference)

 

Does it change with speed/rpm of vehicle or is it constant?
What was the Bang noise that happened a few times - do you have an aftermarket LSD?

That is an obnoxious noise - almost sounds like your fender liner or under tray is rubbing against the wheel.
