TooBigToFit Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 My 08 GT has an intermittent scratching noise from one of the wheels (sounds like driver side, either front or rear, not sure). Stays for a few miles, stops for many miles more (as in, it doesn't happen often, and when it does, it doesn't last for too long). Sound seems to go away when I brake, and is a repeated periodic scratch kind of sound. Last time it happened, my father and I got into an argument (he said some BS about me pulling the parking brake too hard and having it get "stuck" even though the handle is down, of which I didn't believe a single bit) after an unsuccessful attempt to reproduce the sound. Today it rained. I was making a (right) turn out of a parking lot and the sound kicked in again... Any guesses as to what it may be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDan Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 It's a brake shoe hanging up. Could be from rust, dirt or simply dry metal parts not moving properly. Should be easy to figure out which wheel: after driving and hearing the noise, feel the wheel hub. Which ever brake is dragging will generate extra heat.

IDRVSLO Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Also check each disc for grooving, there is a chance you got a small pebble or rock stuck in there.....however unlikely...it can happen. I would point to the above as a more likely cause. Scott G [ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvrFyre Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I was having a similar problem with my 07 Spec B and took it to the dealer. I turn right hard and it shows up, turn left hard and it goes away. There is a tech bulletin regarding this issue. Turns out it was the bearing. They dismounted it and repacked the grease and reinstalled it and the squeaking went away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
