I have a 94 RT/10 with 20K miles that has a scraping/rubbing sound in the vicinity of the rear passenger wheel. The scraping noise appears after the car has been driven for approximately 75 miles. The rubbing sound is not present when the car is cold.
The scraping sound is present when the vehicle is decelerating. The noise seems to disappear when accelerating.?..... Please give me your opinions. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Try this...... provoke the symptom, and while it is scraping, CAREFULLY APPLY THE E-BRAKE WITH THE BUTTON HELD IN. DO THIS GRADUALLY....
If this changes and then stops the sound, you probably have a hardened rear caliper seal.........or some other rear caliper problem. Since the 75-miles heats up and expands things, also see if the RR rotor area is HOTTER than the LR rotor. A hand-held pyro is great, but the palm of your hand held on the wheel (CAREFUL) can tell a lot.
ps. PartsRack has rebuild kits, dust boots and seals, pads, or some NICE used low-mile rear calipers WITH pads! Thanks
