I figured out that was the problem by driving down the street and pulling up the brake handle slightly and the noise stopped.

The tires I had on the car were 285/35/18 rear and 245/40/17 front on wagon wheels (thank God they are gone....by the way! Car looks about a million times better)

Where should I start looking? It sounds like something is catching or rubbing.



did you cheat the mob lately?

Yes I had that noise after I had my left rear leaking problem fixed. The mechanic took it for a ride and heard the noise and new exactly what it was and fixed it. Good chance it might be that.
