Ugly Rear Brake Sounds!! 200 1989

Hello All,

Just got back from out of town late last night and my wife says to me that the wagon sounds like it's on it's last legs. (now there's a welcome back!)

So I jump in to drive to work this morning, first touch on the brakes and it's grinding a plenty. Doesn't seem to be anything you can hear outside. (no stares from passersby) It almost seems like more of a rumble in the car. I drive along, no noises as I drive, hit the brakes it grinds/rumbles again but as I pull away from the stop sign it sounds like a squealing (bearings?)as I drive. Stop at the next light, pull away no noise as I drive. What the hell?

I had quite a bit of pad left last fall when I checked. So I'm thinking not the pads, could be wrong though. It almost seems like some foreign objects rubbing but somehow I don't think I could be that lucky.

I'm sure someone on the board will have the exact answer I need or the likely source of the problem. I just want to troubleshoot before I get home and have a chance to poke and prod.

Thanks
