When slowing down (not applying the brakes) and when taking off, I hear a grinding sound from the rear end. It sounds like running your nails down the chalkboard.


What could this be?


Thank You

I know the brake pads are paper thin and they are getting replaced Weds. Oh I hope I didnt **** up my rotors.

In my olds i used to do some wicked drifts in the winter and i always wrecked the wheel hub bearings, I knew it cause of the grinding from the wheel that id hit. Always having to get new ones sliding sideways into rogue curbs or shit like that. Lol. So im going to say hub bearings but thats just a guess.

Ruh-roo... sounds like a hub/axle bearing but I'm over here in Cali so it could be anything. Does it happen intermittently or can you make the sound on command?

Hmmm I don't know bro. Baby that ****er you need to keep it until your lease is up.

Sounds ghetto only b/c I don't know much but squirt some WD-40 in there and see if it goes away.

Question about the brake pads... why would low/crappy pads cause a constant grinding and or rubbing noise if that was the case. I mean hes not going to be able to stop as good and they might grind when he is stopping but hes not getting that when hes stopping.

LOL....I read the entire first post and he says jsut slowing down...not applying brakes. sorry

but the pad could have broken and is now flopping around in the caliper causing the noise....and thats the best case scenario---LOL

lol I'm really wasted rite now but expanding on the reply that I made on "that other forum", I think it's either parking brake/rear brake related or something in your drivelien (specifically transfer case). Usually, wheel bearing failure is accompanied by a loud roaring noise that is proportional to speed. Do you have any loud whining noise at highway speed??

I can't wait to get rid of my Overland. :D


(Shhhhhhhhh did I say that too loud? I don't want it to hear that.) :lol:
....

I'm currently awaiting for something else to break on your Jeep......

:p
With that said :p I doubt it's the T-Case. Like said before, if the pads need to be replaced that "squeak" would most certainly be the problem. Either way you need to get those done, and if that doesn't solve the issue, bearings or parking brake. I'm sure you know the parking brake is inside the brake rotor.

Yes I abuse it but I always do extra maintenance.

2500 mile Oil Changes
Spark Plugs replaced twice
Trans, diff, and t-case fluid replaced every 10k



That being said, I still pity the person that gets my Jeep and I hope they don't sign up on a forum I frequent. :lol:
