Whining from rear of car at 30mph
« on: 13 June 2011, 20:56:28 »
hi guys, hope you're all well. i have the above problem. not when breaking but get up to 30mph and it sounds just like when the breakpads are on their way out and that squueking noise (but as said its during accelerating not breaking)

any advice would be great.

cheers :)

It would explain why the noise vanishes when the footbrake is applied.

Could have a small stone or large piece of grit trapped between the pad and disc?

If it's a sticking caliper you may spot one of the pads has more wear that the other.
