Hi all,
I've been having an issue with an intermittent grinding noise coming (only) from the rear left wheel of my 1993 Fiat Uno, which varies according to speed of rotation. This occurs when driving along but not all the time and feels like a drag effect without applying the brakes. I thought it was due to a worn out wheel bearing. However, this has been replaced and the same noise remains.
According to the mechanic who fitted the bearing, the brake cylinder is not leaking (on either side) and the existing shoes and drums are in serviceable condition. Pressing the brake pedal does not change the noise and the brakes are stopping the car as normal.
Is it possible that the nearside cylinder has partially seized without any sign of leakage or weeping behind the protective rubber boots?
Or could the noise be caused by something else such as a build up of rust on the drum?
Cheers,
Andy
