Good news is that the wheel bearings feel healthy so thats a plus.

Oh, i also had a massive achievement by finally replacing the the rear wiper blade! Geez im good at mekaniking.

Will be heading out bush after new years for a couple of nights. My boss is bringing his sr5 lux thats never been offroad and im gonna get it muddy.....
Soooo......

I did go out for a cruise with my boss and it was fun... Bugger all proper off road so he still thinks his gutlux is good lol.

Then I got a second hand calliper and got a seal kit put through it. So freshened up rear brake callipers and pads both sides.
And at the same time got fresh front bearings.

But.....

On the way to and from getting the new calliper fitted I didn't hear that scrapping sound and didn't hear it on a quick drive into town another time. Haven't driven it since.

Today I got about 500 metres from home and the noise came back?
Any ideas guys?
It's a high pitch scrapping screamy kind of sound that comes in briefly then disappears. Sounds like it's the drivers side rear (the place that just had the fresh calliper put in) but sounds can be hard to pinpoint in a vehicle. The bearings where checked while playing with the brakes.
