1 Lucky Texan Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 replaced wheel bearing , axle, parking brake , wheel cylinder , on rear , only 1 side, while driving i can hear whats sounds like something rubbing , are there adjusting needed ? first suspect would be the dust shield rubbing on the rotor. I suppose the parking brake could need some adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster2 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I have a similar situation with my 99 OBW. I jacked up the right rear, where the rotating noise was coming from. With the parking brake off, and trans in neutral, I could spin rotate the road wheel. I figured out the noise was coming from the parking brake. I have just ignored the noise, as it is not very noticeable. When rotating the road wheel, you can see if the dust shield is rubbing the rotor. If so, just pry the shield back a bit with a large screw driver to stop the rubbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcupine73 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 You mentioned wheel cylinder, so I'm not sure if you mean you have rear drum brakes. Those can rub the backing plate even worse than rotors. Because the drum kind of fits into this lip on the backing plate. Any time I've messed with those they make this terrible crunching rubbing sound for a while until all the rusty backing plate that touches the drum finally rubs away.
