my car has been making a grinding noise and it sound like it is coming from the back. I know its not the brakes because the brakes were changed 2 weeks ago. and it was making the noise before i changed the brakes too. just trying to see if anyone know what it could be. thanks for the help guys

Seized up caliper?
Wheel bearing?

Give us a little more description...when does it do it? What exactly does it sound like? When did it start?

if anyone is having a rear bearing problem FIX IT ASAP seriously its rediculasly easy if you have rear drums and i bet just as easy for disks

i had one lock on me doing 80 on the freeway

it caused my hub to lock in place and basically LOCK my brakes only in that rear tire

i span like 8 times came really close to the guard rail

total damage cuz i didnt wanna buy a $40 part

new tires - 280 bux(crazy bald spots on all 4 from the braking)
new pads - 60 bux
new drum - 100
new brake cylinder - 65
new springs for the drums - 25
hub - 45
ebrake cable snapped - 45
blown strut- 45
alignment-65

it does it when i apply the breaks. it started about a month ago. it just sounds like grinding, i dont know how else to explain it. i drive a 2000 tib by the way. thanks

faithofadragon
