Hello everyone,
I started noticing a metal to metal noise on the back wheels a week ago. Inspected brake pads and they are in good shape. Sometimes when I turn to the right noise is more noticeable. Any suggestions or ideas about this issue would be truly appreciated. Btw mine is a 2010 Outlander 210000 km mileage and running strong...

 

is the e-brake cable sticking? the inside of the rear setup is like a drum brake, so if there's some tension on one of the cables, it could cause friction

the other thing is that rubber parts get old and cracked and fall out, check for linkages/attachment-points of components, no rubber = metal on metal

 

Thanks for the recommendations.
BYW can you check picture attached? That rotor should be bright and shiny due to the pads just as front wheel rotors. As you can see rotor is very rusty...is this normal?

 

Yes ....but only on one side

 

I had rust on the hat part but not on disc where the pad contacts. The pad should scrape any corrosion off that area if it's working properly and the car is driven regularly. Sitting for a length of time in a salty environment would cause all that damage. If you can't get it smoothed out, I'd just replace both rears with a new set of rotors. At that time, be really sure the slides are greased to ensure even pressure to the inner and outer sides of the disk. Seeing that picture, I'd be pretty confident that situation is creating some noise.

 

That will need new pads and discs. The caliper slides may be seized, causing the pads to stick. They will need attention as if they are not moving freely the same will happen again

 

thanks!

 

Thank you guys!
