loud screeching

[legacygt]

Loud screeching coming from the driverside front tire area when turning left(bearing maybe?), loud screeching when backing up coming from the rear, sounds like metal on metal, and is horribly embarresing. When back up if the brakes are applied to noise goes away for the most part.

Sounds like the e-brake might be stuck or something along those lines, i dont feel any drag on the car when driving, so i dont think its the brakes sticking. Maybe an axel, wish you could hear it, sounds so terrible.

Same sound coming from the front AND the rear? Did they both start making noise at the same time?

now not insult but how many miles on your car and have you changed the alternator/power steering belt? does it only screech when going slow like turning in a parking lot?

just figured id throw it out there cause I just fixed mine

loud screeching from the rear doesnt sound good though :(

now the front first, now the rear. buts its only one side on the front. Sounds like calipers sticking maybe, its not a constant screech, its pulsing, like its something un-even, like a disk.

not a belt its a metal on metal noise. the belts where replaced when the timming was done 14 weeks ago.

I hope its just a rock. Is the shield easy to take off? I can only hear it in the back when backing up. its strange.

When the brakes are applied the noise goes away.

Katie you are my hero once again :).

[Bu11dogg2]

better pads and rotors can be bought for less than the stock set up.

Def contact one of the vendors on here ;)

i Know your joking but considering i just got out of a 4 1/2 almost 5 year relationship with the girl i was going to marry and then f`d up trying to get back together. I dont approve of your comment.

To answer your question i do not have a wife. I do how ever have most of my police stuff in the car, and a heavy as hell audio system in the trunk, and a couple misc. things.

Id say take the calipers off and possibly do a rebuild. The rebuild kits arent expensive i think mine wer ~$20 a caliper.

[starhm]

then you should be able to turn the volume up until you cant hear it anymore...problem fixed.

i think there was a stoopid commercial that did that...lol

good luck with the brakes. sounds like its time.

I've been getting a bunch of cars in with small pebbles caught between the rotor and backing plate. Wicked nasty loud noise.
