weird noise

Ninjawafers! · June 30th, 2007, 11:23 AM

i keep hearing this weird noise coming from my passenger side rear (96 v6)... i dont know where exactly it is coming from. it sounds kinda like a metal on metal noise.. kinda grinding but its not heavy or loud. it only does it when i turn the steering wheel left or sometimes when i let off the gas... i just had new exhaust put on and just put on new rims and tires.. i did a lil visual inspection just a few minutes ago and everything looked fine.. any ideas?

it may be the rear brakes. more specifically the shoes and/or the drums...have them checked out

Ninjawafers! · June 30th, 2007, 12:50 PM

they are disk breaks... and they looked fine... weird that it only does it when i turn the steering wheel left or slow down with no brake applied... when i press the break i dont hear it.. unless im turning the steering wheel left

Breakout · June 30th, 2007, 12:51 PM

i didn't think they put disc brakes on a 96. hmm...i must be outta the loop. well now i feel like an idiot

Breakout · June 30th, 2007, 12:52 PM

well it's most likely suspension. but i've never heard suspension make a metal on metal noise

Ninjawafers! · June 30th, 2007, 12:53 PM

me either.. thats why im so confused with it.. i checked everythign out and it didnt look like anything would be rubbing against each other... so im completely clueless

Breakout · June 30th, 2007, 12:55 PM

yeah...i dunno...it could be a joint too...but like i said..metal on metal noise...that's a 1st for me if your brakes are fine...did you check the caliper? It may be sticking...

Ninjawafers! · June 30th, 2007, 12:58 PM

i was thinking somethin to do with the brakes.. but when i turn the steering wheel left? like i could barelyt nudge it left and it makes the noise... that is what boggles my mind... that would have absolytely nothing to do with the brakes

Breakout · June 30th, 2007, 01:05 PM

i'm not sure about your year mustangs...but they could have what's called "floating" calipers. my 1995 oldsmobile achieva had it...and when my calipers stuck and i made a turn...once my brake pads were worn down enough, the indicator rubbed on the rotor. that may be your problem. but i'm not sure if your year used floating calipers

Ninjawafers! · June 30th, 2007, 01:09 PM

i dunno.. ill check it though. but ima get me some sleep right now.. night shift sucks... keep the ideas comin!!! lol

chevy_killer · June 30th, 2007, 08:25 PM

it sounds like a bearing is bad????

Ninjawafers! · July 1st, 2007, 11:47 PM

well i think i can rule out a bad bearing because if one went bad id hear grinding the whole time... to me it sounds like when the brake pads are bad and it grinds agains the rotor... but the pads look good. it did it today onle when i turned the steering wheel left, or hit a bump.. a friend of mine thinks it could be a joint or somethin... any more ideas?

Breakout · July 2nd, 2007, 12:34 AM

it definately sounds like a frozen caliper

Ninjawafers! · July 2nd, 2007, 01:12 AM

im starting to think its that also... ill check it tomorrow when i do some body work to the stang... if i find out what it is ill definitely let yall know

MustanG_guy17 · July 2nd, 2007, 04:18 PM

I bet it's your exhaust.. Mine made a ton of noise when i first got it.. I took it back and they got rid of most of it.. But when i hit a bump it knocks. And when im in parking lots. turning it rattles.. ANNOYING

You said you had a new exhaust put on, maybe the exhaust pipe is touching the driveshaft when you turn?
