Rear wheel squeel

[9884booth]

Any advice please:

Get a squeel from the driver rear wheel on my 4.0 Chim. More noticable when driving and turning right around a bend or roundabout. Sometimes in a straight line to a lesser extent which goes away when breaking.

Is it a slicking brake or something more serious..wheel bearing or something?

Any advise?

Definately sounds like might be the brake pad needs replacing, I've had this in the past on other cars, especially when you turn one way or the other, like yours is doing. I'd check the pads first, then ifs its not that explore other avenues.

I had a similar thing an it turned out to be the wheel bearings. But definately look into the break pads first as they're probably cheaper to fix.

Had it checked by a friend, pads look ok and deffo not wheel bearings. He says use Copperslip on the backs

Anybody offer advice on this?

Are removing rear pads easy...any red flags to watch our for?

Just changed my old pads for new as well as putting new discs on both rears nowt complicated just remember to adjust handbrake cable aswell... on the squeal front just give everything that looks likely to squeal a squirt wd40 or other preferred lube after a good inspection while wheels are off

Good clean and copperslip on the back of offending pads seems to have worked. Lets hope in continues
