Re: Saab 9-5 Wagon REAR NOISE IS AWFUL Posted by CrNiFe [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Saab 9-5 Wagon REAR NOISE IS AWFUL, CM, Wed, 19 Apr 2006 11:36:58 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Does it sound like a scraping noise, that changes at slow speeds or gets louder when you slow down?
Check the parking/emergency brake - has it seized? CAn it hold the car when you are in drive, with your foot on the gas?
Does one of the rear wheels get really hot after just a short drive - don't test it with your finger, place your hand beside it, but not on it. If it is warm, check the rotor. A tiny bit of spittle onto the rotor will do: if it steams immediately, that could be the problem.
My parking brake froze in the on position this winter, and after only a few miles of driving to work, it was really hot.
The mechanic should have checked the pads on the parking brake and the mechanism when he changed the rear rotors and pads.
Can't help about the rear bushings. Usually it squeaks when it isn't right, rather than scrapes. As for the struts, how is the rear camber looking?
Good Luck
