Most Unusual Noise Developed From The Rear Left Wheel

[Marko R1]

hi guys,

my gtr has developed a funny noise & i can hear this when i drive, regardless of speed...if i push the car slowly in the garage i can also hear the noise so its not related to loading the driveline & its definitely coming from the rear left wheel. to me it sounds like its coming from the wheel bearing as it kind of sounds like its travelling thru the brake disc itself.

best way to describe it, sounds like a 'RIRIRI' @ high speed & low speed its more of a crackly sound, similar to when u rub your hands together when they are dry & the slip shutters with a noise (dont know how else to explain)

any pointers or ideas?

the second noise you are describing sounds like a brake pad rubbing on a disc, not a problem. in fact both could be brake noises, have you pulled them off?

not as yet duncan - i know what u mean about brake pad riding the disc but also odd that it still makes the sound at 60kmh

all check disc pads & adjustment on hand brake drum pads

lol - i went to take the rear wheel off & 4 of the 5 wheel nuts were not tight...the noise was the rim rubbing against the disc hub, explains why it got progressivel worse on the last drive
