57896, Need help diagnosing problem. rattling/grinding noise
Posted by DocWhiplash, Aug-26-03 09:32 AM
Well, I hear a sort of grinding sound, almost sounds like I'm dragging some sort of metal piece under the car. sounds like it is comming from the rear of the car. I only hear the problem when I am rolling. I already engaged the trans with the parking brake on and I didnt hear it either.The car doesnt pull at all in any direction so I would think that it ruled out the rear drums. My conclusion was that one of my rear wheel baerings is going out. Anyone have any other ideas

sounds like a bearing to me, or your drum brakes.

is something hitting your rim, like a piece of metal flew up from the road and got lodged in something and is rubbing a rim or other movable piece? cant hurt to check

I didnt see anything when I looked, but i was on lunch at work and didnt really get to check good. I would think that something like that would be pretty noticable though. I;ll see if somthing might be hitting it tonight
