That was kinda my next line of thought, but no play in the wheel when my buddy/mechanic put it up on his lift... But I'm at my wit's end w/this SOB! Thanx for the reply!
New rotors calipers & pads from TRQ auto parts. Also new parking brake shoes & hardware kit. Also had the rear diff serviced.
Yes. Very much so.
And IDK if I mentioned... New parking brake shoes & hardware kit. I'm going to the shop tomorrow. I'll record a clip of it, join elite Explorers, & post it. Gonna ask if he put the slippers on, too. The shims, I'm meaning.
I'm beginning to wonder if that's my problem. It'll be more pronounced sometimes hanging a hard left. But I was wondering... Instead of the 235 70 16s it calls for, I got a steal on some brand-new Dunlop 235 60 16s & put those on. Anyone have any thoughts?
Also, what do you mean by parking brake adjustment?
Ya really think so? Cuz I know the 3rd Gens were the 1st to have an Independent rear suspension, so... Also, I'm going to join Elite Explorers & post a video of the tire making the noise, & also of the wheel turning as it makes the noise, so as to see if anyone notices a slight wobble in the tire(s). And lastly, it sat for almost 4 yrs before I got it. I wondered if they didn't clean up those two pins that hold the caliper on the bracket, & if I have debris falling down in there. I'm very appreciative of any & all responses BTW.
All mine & my father's tools got stolen,
so I'm having to depend on a friend of mine & my father's. Helluva mechanic. Been doing it for 40 yrs this yr, & he has EVERYTHING a professional, 'name-brand' outfit does, but his labor is 45, 50% cheaper! Very fair man.If it makes noise when you turn one way and not the other it sounds like a bad hub bearing. I'd jack it up and give the tires a good hard shake, then take the wheel off and check the brakes for good measure.
It's at my buddy's shop just down the block, but I'll be doin that tomorrow where he can just put it on the rack. It's definitely when you hang a left. But I believe(?) it has done it making a right as well. But it set for a LONG time, so both could need replacing. But I don't have the tools anymore to tackle it myself, or I absolutely would! Lastly, it NEVER makes the noise on the rack. Has to be on the ground & have weight on the wheels. I wonder if a failing rear strut or other suspension component could be causing it??
