weird squeaking/scraping noise

[_turtle_]

hi guys, recently i've noticed a squeaking and scraping, (sounds like metal on metal noise) coming from the right hand side, sounds like its from the rear. its very loud and is consistent with how fast i go. ie. if i speed up the noise will speed up, when I roll it in neutral, thats when i can hear it the loudest. just as i'm about to come to a stop it sounds really horrible, very squeaky, otherwise when i speed up you can only hear a tat tat tat sound.

any ideas? the car appears to be driving normal.

thanks

there is a stone between the back side of the brake disc and the brake disc shield try that

check the braking system on that side (disks, pads, shield)

thanks guys, i'll jack her up and take a look. i checked out the front the other day coz i thought it was from the front and it was fine :Oops:

when you say shield, which part is that? do you mean the caliper?

[Ronin 09]

nah, behind the disc is a pressed steel shield, have a look between the disc and that

The sheild is there to stop water from splashing over the brake rotor and cooling down your breaks, You won't stop quick if your brakes get water on them.

I can't remember the exact name for it but it's water something.

just quickly jacked the car up before, didn't notice anything unusual. it gets dark so quickly these days! i think its time to take the car to the mechanics, it sounds so sick

recently i changed the rims, but i'm pretty sure that it isn't effecting anything. i mite change it back on the weekend just to be 100% sure.

thanks for the tips.

I had exact same noise mate...i constantly drove with my head outside the window and it sounded like the noise was coming from rear right...

As i came to a slow stop the noise was really loud...when i accelerated it didnt seem to be that loud

I ended up taking it to mechanic and in the end they found out it was the tag on the exhaust had come lose near the resonator or inside the actual head..i.e the pop rivet had come off 1 side and it was the tag hitting...thus the metal on metal sound..

You could have the same problem

That sounds like the problem im having, most the time i've got the window open and my head sticking out, rolling the car around the streets like an idiot!

can you explain this exhaust thing a little further, what pop rivet? and how they fixed it?

thanks

Well basically i thought it was something in my caliper or wheel somewhere seriously didnt have a clue..it was really really annoying sounded like a metal rattle snake!!! a loud one

I took it to my mechanic he told me to rev constantly so i kep revving the sound only seemed to occur around 4000 rpm + and when i decellerated it seemed to happen aswell

Decided to hoist the car up

He told me to keep revving he followed the noise down the resonator or head wasnt sure! ive got a kakimoto full exhaust...basically on pretty much all exhausts u have internal badging held on by pop rivets in my case 2 pop rivets held the badge to interanal wall musta been near the head or resonator? externally in that case

He basically got pliers and pulled the tag off...it was a simple tag causing the rattle.

They also said it could of been a hole in your resonator or heat shield. theirs your 2 other options

[Blade]

you werent the guy with the kakimoto exhaust trying to sell?
