My girlfriend has a SVX 1995 all wheel drive. There is a noise coming from the rear end which is proportional to the wheel turning speed. I thought it could be a bearing but I am not sure.... She took it to the shop, and they said it needed new pads and rotors (it is disk brake in the rear). Bastards! I said, BS, she did brakes and rotors about 2 years ago. I took out the wheel and the pads and disc look like new. I realized that the brake calipers are attached by a bolt in one end and some kind of flying attachement on the other end. You can easily move the rotors perpendicular to the disc and when you do this it makes a noise. The rotors seem loose but the one bolt is fairly tightened. I think this could be the source of the noise. The rotor on the other side does the same. The front wheel rotor setup is similar but you can't move the rotors with your hands. Any ideas????
