Noise from RH rear wheel marty - Monday, 19 November, 2012, at 9:59:20 am |
Given the noise is present with the car stationary and the engine running I'd offer.. MarcW - Monday, 19 November, 2012, at 11:45:51 am |

After sitting for a week un driven in wet cold conditions, my '99 Box (97k miles) has developed an intermittent noise, from what seems to be the RH rear wheel area.
The noise sounds like a plastic bag or leaves caught under the car. It starts once I've covered a couple of miles and usually while turning right, carrying a bit of speed. It does it in neutral with the engine ticking over. Once it's started it does it while driving straight too.
I replaced both discs, pads and parking shoes 17k miles back.
Both discs, hubs and calipers feel the same temperature, ie. nothing dragging on.
The hand brake needs adjusting as it comes up 5 clicks now.
Any ideas please before I start tearing things apart?
I don't think Marty said it makes noise while the car is stationary. Roger987 - Monday, 19 November, 2012, at 4:45:19 pm |
Ok I misread the OP's post. If the noise is not present when the engine is running... MarcW - Monday, 19 November, 2012, at 5:22:51 pm |
My first guess is alwasy: debris in the rotor/rock shield assembly (or caught in the caliper/rotor) grant - Monday, 19 November, 2012, at 7:42:49 pm |
Maybe there's something caught in the engine cooling intake vent... Laz - Monday, 19 November, 2012, at 5:47:12 pm |

My experience with my car is what proved to be a bad wheel bearing wasn't that obvious.... MarcW - Tuesday, 20 November, 2012, at 11:58:28 am |

Just to be clear, the noise is only present when the car is moving. The faster the car, the more noise there is. Revving the engine has no effect.
What does a failing wheel bearing sound like? The car has recently passed it's annual MOT test, so there can't be detectable play in the wheel.
Could it be from a CV joint on the half shaft?
