A squeaky wheel

[redhot96stang]

I have a rear wheel in my 96 coupe that squeaks like crazy but wheel i apply the brake it stops sqeeking what could that be a berring or does it need to be lubed its driving me crazy please i need some advice on what to do

Um....have you checked the brakes to see if they need to be replaced?

 

[redhot96stang]

the brake pads look good they have alot of life left to them.

 

[1987LXragtop]

if the pads werent installed right they could be vibrating. Bearings will give you a hum that wont go away.

hey

i have a cuz of mine that is a expert on stang comming by to check it out hopefully its not a expensive fix.

 

[redhot96stang]

its squeaks only when im not applying the brake and it doesnt stop unless i apply the brakes.

 

[1987LXragtop]

the pads are still in some contact with the rotor when then brakes arent applied. When you apply pressure the squeaking will stop because youre stopping the vibration

 

[redhot96stang]

so its a strong possibility its just the brakes on that side. or is the possibility of the baring goin out or needs to be replaced

 

[1987LXragtop]

I'll guarantee that is the brake pads on that side.

 

[redhot96stang]

i think i will try checking out the brakes on that side and replace and repair what i need to do. I must say thankyou i really appreciate ur help and thnk god for this forum site. Gotta love mustangs this is my second mustang

 

[1987LXragtop]

youre welcome no problem

My brakes squeaks only on the rear driver side with and without applying the brakes...I have even replaced the pads that still had a lot of life left on them and they will stop squeaking for about 30min of in-town driving then start again...any ideas of what to do next?

Maybe you should check one of the u joints, or a problem with the rotors?
