Default squealing noise from rear end drivers side? - 05-11-2007 , 06:48 PM






I have a 2002 suburban that has a horrible squealing noise coming from the
rear driver's side (from what I can tell) It reminds me of needing brake
pads replaced except for it stops when I use the brakes and it usually only
squeals when I'm turning. It's been happening for about a week now and the
noise is getting worse. Anyone have any ideas what it is?

Brake pads is my first guess. You may have a sticky caliper that is
causing a glazed pad to drag a bit and when you apply brakes it
changes contact pressure. As for going around corners, the rotor will
flex a bit and distort/change contact area of pad on rotor and change
noise.

You're right...it needs brakes. Wait a week or two and it'll squeal
all the time.
