Me good at fix stuff

Ok the noise was a seized slider on the rear drivers side brake caliper. But on closer inspection we found that the shaft was flogged out so im up for a replacement caliper (easier than trying to re-sleeve the existing one.
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.

not that disc cover plate scraping on the rotor
Did you put never seize on the pad pins and back of the pads

Mine made a similar noise and was a rear wheel bearing.

Nah there's plenty of clearance there. Yeah the pads and calliper were installed correctly.

Yeah you mentioned that last time so I paid a lot of attention to it and mentioned it to my mate that I was helping.... He's a really good mech and seemed to think all felt good....

[taslucas]

Were there any particular conditions that made the noise Winnie?

[Winnie]

It only made the noise when the car was decelerating.
EDIT: Only did it after a few kms of driving though once everything had heated up.

It might have been a seal that had worn and was rubbing on something?

The bloody patrol is cleaner than the comdong!
