What is making this sound?

Rosco · 06-25-2002, 08:59 PM

Alright, i just started to notice this more and more as the months pass. It sounds like it's coming from the drivers side left rear. It sounds like a possible rubbing, or something like that. I notice that it only happens when I brake, which leads me to think that it may be my drum brake. I mean, when I get another person in the car it sounds even louder. Someone else told me that it might be a control arm or even a C-Clip. You guys have any ideas? Oh, and recently, it'll rarely make the noise if I go over some kind of large bump. Thanks guys

Take care,

could it maybe be the bearings on the axle? Just a WILD guess!!!!!!!!!! Good luck finding it!

Sounds stupid, but I'd check to make sure your caliper is bolted down tight.
