When i drive in a narrow street i can hear a churning metal sound coming from my rear left wheel ... what is that ? and how to fix it ? .... i am a big noob but can it be the wheel bearing ? or like the brakes are stuck somehow ?

jack up the rear of the car, remove wheel. remove teh lower bolt on the back of the caliper, twist the caliper up. remove brake pads.
or just take the wheel off and look at the brake pads w/ the caliper on. there should be no less than 1/8" of pad left. or else it is time to change. |
