#21 of 23 Mercury Monterrey Rear Wheel Noise by richmich

Feb 15, 2010 (4:04 pm)

I have a 2004 Mercury Monterey.
 
I had similar issues with the rear caliper sticking causing uneven wear of the pad and also a noise when breaking (somewhat load whistling type noise).
 
We noticed over the last 30-60 days a "groaning" type noise coming from what I think is the rear passenger wheel area.
 
You can only hear this when you go slow around 0 to 10 MPH.
 
Any thoughts on what this is. I was thinking bearing but never heard anything like this or maybe it needed lubrication but cannot find anything on lubricating the rear axle/wheels.
 
Thanks, Rich

about a month ago, the brake pedal started settling an hour or so after parking, triggering the brake lights. It has run the battery down a couple of times, stranding my wife. Has anyone had this happen? I am trying to figure out whether it is a problem in the brake lines or with the power assist up under the dash.
