I have a squeak coming from the rear when i turn. I don't believe it is from bad brakes but i think it has something to do with the play that has developed in my rear end. I think when i turn, the axle moves enough to get the brake to tap the pad or caliper. This is what someone suggested and it seems to be right.

I saw that you can fix it by grinding something down or by using some type of spacer. I didn't really get too much information, how do i fix this and/or what kind of spacer do i use and where? I don't notice it much from the sound of my exhaust and i am used to it but I think it could be somewhat annoying to others.

 

mine did the same thing. i replaced rotors,pads and calipers and the noise was still there. it could be 1 of 2 things that i know of. the clutches in the carrier could be wore out causing the axles to have more play which moves the the rotor into the caliper like you said. thats what happend to me and i bought a new carrier and gears and problem went away. thats most likley what it is. it could also be an axle bearing but i think it would be squeaking all the time, not just on turns. i had a 136 k on my car.

 

you could grind the inside of the caliper mounting bracket. if you look at the inside of the bracket you might be able to see whare it's rubbing. then you'll know whare to grind.

 

Does the squeal only happen when you turn in a certain direction? If that is the case it is very possible that its your axle bearing.

 

I believe it is both sides but i can check it out. How much trouble/money would it be to replace an axle bearing?

 

my car was doing the same thing. It began very minor only on hard left turns. It got worse and worse. It was the diff. I got a new one and the problem was solved. If you have over 75k on your car, n like to do fish tails then your is probably shot too.
