    Here is my previous post:

    What could this be?


    It all started about a week ago. Whenever I turned in one direction
    (can't remember if it was right or left) the left rear wheel would
    squeek (sounded like it was once per revolution, *squeak* *squeak*
    *squeak* faster or slower depending on my speed.


    Now, for the last 2 days, the wheel squeaks or groans in any direction.
    At low speeds, especially while reversing, it sounds like a major
    groan. (like a submarine close to buckleing under metal fatigue from
    extreme pressure in the movies) rrrrrrrrrrrrrr
    Speeding up, it becomes a screeching or squeaking.


    One more thing, not sure if it is related. I had a look at all the
    rotors and it seems that in the effected area, there is about a quarter
    to a half inch what isn't warn on the outside of the rotor and instead
    of the nice shiny metal look, there is some rust. On all my other
    rotors, there appears to be clean metal (where the pads contact) right
    to the edge of the outside of the rotor.


    Any ideas? I'm hoping part of the break pad is screwed up and that's
    it. Thanks,

    Look thru all of Tegger's FAQ and see the part about siezed caliper
    sliders. Sounds like you've got one.
    Change the Dual Pump Fluid every 30,000 miles or two years. Add edots to
    the chart in the manual. They're missing.

    Your noise could well be brake related.

    You've likely got at least one pad seized on its mount bracket, which
    suggests other brake problems as well. Time for a thorough service.

    Looking at the outside pads is not enough. You have to see the inner ones
    as well. If the outer pad is sticking, extra stress is applied to the inner
    pads, and they wear out much faster.
