squealing when turning from rear
 
I've noticed when making turns there is a squealing noise coming from the rear.
Seems to be coming from the brakes but not sure. The noise is getting worse.
Any experience or ideas?

its the bearing on the axle closest to the wheel. think the techical term is wheel bearing lol.

Possibly backing plate?

I feel like guys have issues when the rear pads get low, something starts contacting on turns. Might be the rotor to the mount? I'd look for fresh shiny marks to see what is getting hit.

Sounds like the backing plate rubbing the rotor as suggested in the earlier post. Easy to check-easy to fix.

Assuming this is still lt1 style rear brakes, there is no dust shield/backing plate. The caliper doubles as the parking brake as well.

Thanks for the help.

on my lt1 brakes, I had to shave a mm or two off the inside the of the caliper bracket, for some reason it was contacting the rotors on turns when the axles moved in and out. upon reading this was a semi common problem with lt1 brakes. sounds like it is your issue too.

sweetbmxrider 08-20-2016 07:29 AM

Yeah, that's what I have read. Never experienced it but seems somewhat common.

I have the calipers and rotors off and noticed in and out play of the axles of about a 1/16 of an inch is that the norm?

sweetbmxrider 08-20-2016 01:58 PM

Yup, that's the c-clips hitting
