Venatus 2 Report post Posted March 11, 2008 Yesterday, tightened my handbrake up at the handle, and it was all good, then driving round today a horrible borrible grinding scraping noise has started coming from my rear right wheel whenever the car is moving forwards. It sounds like theres a big chunk of metal grinding around back there. Can anyone tell me from that what it could be? Im thinking its something to do with the handbrake system, the brake pads on the back are about 4-5 weeks old... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

westy 614 Report post Posted March 11, 2008 You might have a stone stuck in there. Go backwards and forwards a few times if it dosnt stop take the wheel of and have a poke around. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Venatus 2 Report post Posted March 12, 2008 I took the wheel off right after I posted, had a look around and there was nothing I could see, I also loosened the handbrake a bit, and did a couple small drives with reversing out of my driveway etc and It wouldnt stop. Then I went to take it up to the mechanics, mainly just a bit worried that it would suddenly lock the wheel up when driving, and It stopped halfway there and I couldnt get it to come back. My handbrake still wont do much while driving, pulling it up you just feel a little bit of drag, Will probably have to do a full adjust at the wheels as well or something... So Id say (and hope) that it was just a stone as westy suggested... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
