I went to the usual shop to get my explorer checked out yesterday because my front driver-side wheel was making a horrible screaching noise when driving. The sound stops when I brake. They said it was my brake caliper and it needs to be replaced. - - - $100.00 part!!!!
Later that day, I noticed and listened hard when I stuck my head out of the window, yo, the sound is coming from my rear driver-side not the front driver-side!
I was wondering if anyone might have any clues of what it is, just for a second opinion and I will probably take it in elsewhere to get looked at, for another opinion. Plus is there anywhere I can get cheaper parts?
 






Do tou use your e-brake at all.Do you have a autozone or parts america near by
 






reply to question

I do use my e-brake sometimes. Do you suppose it could be that??? and no I do not recognize that parts store chain......

but thanks
 






it worth a check.What auto stores do you have?If you are good with tools bring it to somebody that offers to check it out for free and then do it yourself.Becase of this site I have saved alot of money there is alot of good people on this site
