Metalic noise from 97 SC2
Last month I suddenly started hearing a metalic noise that sounds like
it's coming from the rear wheels. The noise is rythmic and repeated over and over only when the car is in motion. The noise is similiar to that of a knife blade being sharpened on a stone if that make any sense. I realize that asking about a noise problem on this group is not the best way to deal with this problem because you can't hear the noise but I was just wondering if anyone else has encountered this. |

More than likely you have worn the brake shoes down to the rivets and they
are beginning to destroy the rear drum(s). The first sound you heard was designed as a signal to get them looked at. At this point you may no longer be able to resurface the drums and need to replace them (extra $$). Bob "Hal97" > wrote in message oups.com... I put the car on jacks and took the wheels off.Sure enough, when I spun the right rear wheel I heard that scraping noise. Could worn brake produce such a noise while the car is moving and the brakes are not being used? As a matter of fact the noise would stop when the brakes were pumped when this first started happening. Now the noise happens either way. Could it be that the bake pad has broken and is scraping the wheel? wrote: > Hal97 wrote: > > Ok, I've been meaning to try that.

Hmmmmm $20 bucks to turn each drum or $14.99 each + tax for new ones? No
loss there. :-) In article > , says... > More than likely you have worn the brake shoes down to the rivets and they > are beginning to destroy the rear drum(s).

To close this thread I took the car to my mechanic. It turn out that
the rear caliper was locked and it was scraping the pads against the rotors. I had him do a complete front and rear brake job and it breaks down like this. Parts and labor for complete front brake job and resurface rotors. Clean and bleed front calipers.....$245 Parts and labor for complete rear brake job and installed new rear rotors and adjust emergency brake....$245 2 new rotors...$91 ea. brake fluid cleaner ...$15 I new caliper complete...$219 Hope I didn't get ripped off.

The rotors were pretty high for sure (OEM dealership price?) and I
wouldnt "turn" anything these days. Everything else seems to be in the upper medium. 15 dollar brake fluid cleaner? Clean brake fluid I'm guessing. It could of been done for less certainly but I dont think you were ripped off so long as they did a good job and back up their work.
