Big Stu Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 When under bracking i get a drone noise coming from the rear of the car. i have now noticed that it seems to be doing it when driving also, worse when i shut of the throttle. have heard that sticking brake sliders could cause this? Have noticed that the hand brake comes up a very long way but just passed it's m.o.t. on it's performance to stop the car. Any ideas before i start to pay out for parts i don't need? Thanks.

beagle Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 take your car out for a good run ,pull over somewhere then touch both back wheels near studs BUT be careful if one or both very very hot something sticking on had it happen on my calibra on one side even made the paint on alloy peel off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beagle Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 how long as this been happening if your shoes on handbrake been touching for long time might be worn down to the metal . metal on metal can make vibration can make it worst if its on one side.

Big Stu Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) Thanks for that will have to check it out. The hand brake does nearly come up to my ear but passed m.o.t. Lets hope thats all it is. This only been happening last few times iv'e been out in car only did 3k in it since last was m.o.t'd jan 08. Edited February 5, 2009 by Big Stu missed how long been happening (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Could be the wheel bearing. Jack it up and try to rock the wheel. Any movement at all is bad. There is something about the half shaft splines as well that Chris Wilson has mentioned before, have a search if the bearing is OK. -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
