Khaserwolf Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Ok I just started hearing a squealing sound coming from my rear driver side wheel on my 5 speed 280 7, I have the R200 Diff. Ive heard some ppl say it could be the hub, or a wheel bearing. But I wanted to ask you all opinion. The sound seems to be only when in motion, Any suggestions?

Bates_ Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Can you describe the sound? If it sound like it is coming from the wheel, then yes it is most likely your wheel bearing. They make quite a ruckus when they go bad lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Get the wheel off the ground (jack stands) and spin it by hand to see if you can locate the source. Check that the drum is not rubbing on the backing plate (brake disc in FSM lingo). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaserwolf Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 Ok I did that i jacked the car up, i spined it by hand and no sound, i put the par in gear and no sound but vibrated like the car was going to fall aprt, i see I need new struts in the back. But yes unless the car driving on the street, it hard to locate the sound. And it sound like the kinda sound a brake warning tab would make but kinda diffrent. I even went and pushed the the plate behind the drums back a bit and still a sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
