  • Noise From Rear End

    1997 3.8 M5 Camaro

    Not sure what this could be..I've searched. But its driving me nuts.
    When crusing 5-25 mph I can hear a squeaking/whine noise from the rear passenger side of the rearend. The noise disappears when I stop. But when the wheels start turning again its back. Any idea?

    When I first read the title, all I could think to say was eat less greasy food.

    But about the real issue, have you had the brakes checked lately? If its coming from one side and not the other I'd say its something in the brakes.

      Hahaha...
      The rear brakes are drum, and I've never checked them out. I've noticed that sometimes the Parking brake feels funny. Like it engages too easy when I pull it up. Could that have something to do with it?

        I'd have the rear brakes checked out and see if that takes care of it.

            check out the brakes... not sure what the squeks are but the rear hatch is pretty notorious for squeking, easy fix.

              Did you hit anything lately? If so, you may have bent the axle.

              Check for the obvious first. Brakes, e-brake adjustment, re-tighen all of the backing plate bolts, replace the drum hardware, ect. Leave the axle replacement as a last resort.

                    could also be a hub mount. Re-torque your lugs, see if that does anything.

                      Okay, well its only when the car is moving. And I can only hear it at speeds like 20 mph and lower. It almost sounds likes it could be a bent axle. But I do know that I have a leak on my differential. I see fluid on the place where the shaft goes in.

                      And it is a stock open rear end...with drum brakes.
