#1 of 3 rear wheel noise by goodbars Mar 24, 2009 (1:25 pm)
I just took apart my rear passenger wheel on my Town and Country with 4 wheel disk breaks because every time I go around a corner it squeals. My E-Break shoes were falling apart so now Im wondering whether the squealing was the breaks or the axle bearings. Any Input?

Replying to: goodbars (Mar 24, 2009 1:25 pm) Fix the brakes first, then see if the noise is still there. My experience with wheel bearings has been that they make more of a growling or roaring noise as opposed to a high-pitched squeal. That sound would change when I make turns, sometimes going away, and other times getting worse. This all with front wheel bearings. I have never had any problems with bearings on the rear.

Replying to: srs_49 (Mar 25, 2009 2:28 am) thats pretty much what I thought and since ive never delt with axle bearings, i didnt know what they acted like. i guess i will do the breaks first then since thats the safest route. Thanks!
