Hey guys. I had been hearing some scraping and weird noises coming from the rear passengers wheel. I took off my summer set and put my winter tires and stock rims back on and the problem is still there... It sounds like metal to metal scraping and its on a rotation. Every time the tires gets around it makes the noise... Any ideas?

Do you by chance hold your breaks when you burnout?

+1. I suspect toasted rear pads and rotors.

It's more of a technique style... Brakes are in, but I hit the gas as I let off the brake kind of like a clutch. But it is an automatic. Ever since I got my tune I can't resist

may have warped a rotor.

my thought exactly. The rear rotors warp fairly easily under hard duty like burnouts. sounds like you just toasted it a little too much

Brakes are probably gone..

[joshw2890]

Probably an easy fix. Just takes time and a little money. Once I let my brake pads go so bad that they got well into the metal and it raped my rotor. It made a horrible grinding noise even when I was not using my brakes. I would just be more careful in the future.

Sounds like brake issues. If you "do it yourself" make sure you look at both inboard and outboard pads. Some times the outboard pad, the one you see when you look through the wheel, may be ok, but the inboard pad is worn out and touching the rotor. Also if you "diy" make sure both caliper slide pins and bracket points are lubed w/brake caliper grease, and you will need a special brake tool to "screw in" the rear calipers. Most auto parts suppliers also carry a wide range of "loaner tools". If your brake pads have worn into the rotors, REPLACE them don't resurface them. This would also be a good time for any brake upgrades, cross drilled and slotted rotors and a set of ceramic pads

take your rotors and get them turned. while youre there buy some new pads, easy fix if thats the problem. from now on dont do any one wheel peels, look into a t-lock or a new rear end. burnouts on an open diff arent good for em
