  • Rear wheel/brake noise...

    Well a few months ago I noticed some odd rubbing/clunking sound from my rear right tire, it seemed to make more noise when more people/weight was in the car... basically a rubbing/grinding noise on the brakes (only sometimes) or odd clunks and such in a turn/bump from that side.

    Rotors and caliper was brand new... old caliper was seized up. I was like WTF. It kept getting worse so I took a look and when I span the rotor I could see it move closer/further away as I span it from the mounting bracket so I figured it was a badly warped rotor and it was defective or something.

    So I throw a new rotor on and... it looks like it has a wobble just like the old one did! Oh well put it on anyways, it's starting to snow I just need to get it done.

    The noise went away for the most part, for a while. Now it is starting to come back again.

    WTF is going on?

    Did you try grabbing the top and bottom of the wheel with it jacked up, and try rocking to to check if the bearings are bad/loose?
