Hi all.

I was wondering if anyone had an issue like this before and whether you could determine what the problem is. I may eventually just bring it to a shop and see what they will say. The weirdest part is that it started happening right after I had a shop to mount and balance some snow tires onto my car. I don't think I'll ever go back there even though it may not be their fault.

Anyway, here's what happens.

I start the car when its cold and drive around with no noise (at least 5-10 mins on the road). Eventually, over a period of time, I will hear a metal vibrating noise from my rear right passenger wheel/rotor area. This vibrating noise happens without braking, but it does get a little worse once I brake every now and then.

The weird part of it is that when the car is steering to the left, the noise goes away. When I steer right, this grinding noise becomes extremely obnoxious!

Also, sometimes when I pull up my e-brake and pull the e-brake down (while the car is stopped), the noise will go away for a little awhile.

So I have no idea whether this could be bad wheel bearing? a bad brake caliper that isn't releasing correctly? a warped rotor? a defective e-brake cable? overtorqued lug nuts?

I am pretty sure my brake pads are perfectly fine and should have plenty of life left.

Any suggestions on what this could be? Thanks guys.

 

anybody have any expertise in the brakes/rotors department?

 

My guess is ur rotor is warpped or ur rear hub is going bad ???????
