Brushing/Scraping noise from offside rear wheel.

Right,

 

After hearing some noises from the rear wheels, I replaced the pads as they looked low. They were not as bad as I thought, but I am still getting the noise.

 

Sounds like a brushing/light scraping noise. I thought it might be the handbrake, but the noise does not change if I pull it up while moving slowly.. Well it did screech after pulling it up a far bit.

 

Looking at previous posts it sounds like it might be a Wheel Bearing.

 

While the car was jacked up, one side only on Axel stands, I couldn't feel any movement but there was the noise when the wheel was rocked back and forth. I couldn't spin it as the other side was on the floor.

 

So bearing of HB pads?

 

Cheers,

 

Paul.

From a shop that sells brake parts.

 

I think thats a gimmie, there has to be some places better than others though. Some recommendations and prices would be handy. That way if we do go to a "shop that sells brakes" we can make sure we are not getting ripped off ;)

That works for me! But where to find one....:sly:

 

I could phone my local handy toyota dealer who will be happy to qoute me a price. £4,000,000 +VAT for one side, thats with 25% discount!:blink: perhaps thats a little much, but you get the idea!

 

Does anyone have any part numbers maybe?

I've used this place a few times when buying brakes for the van, I don't think you have to be too concerned about buying expensive makes when buying handbrake shoes.

I'm not sure if there're two types available (according to the EPC ?) for the Supra and because of sods law they're bound to send the wrong ones.

 

Halfords can get parts for import cars, they get them from local motor factors which I've found to be not particularly cheap if you get them directly. Halfords do them at a decent price and normally get them in a few hours, handy too incase they get the wrong ones.
