Hi,
I have a 97 Impreza Outback, and I'm getting a loud grinding sound
coming from the rear. It sounds like what I would imaging rusted
metal being dragged over other rusted metal sounds like. I thought
that I would change the brakes, thinking they would be in as sorry a
shape as my front rotor/pad configuration was (which took care of loud
scraping coming from the front).
Well, I just took the drum off, and the shoes don't look worn at all.
The drum is very rusted on the outside, but inside looks fine (except
for a LOT of soot falling out). So I thought I would just clean up
the drum and insides to the best of my ability and see if that removes
the noise.
I am writing the list to see if anyone else has had a really loud
grinding noise coming from their rear, and if it was something other
than the brakes. We'll see if this clears it up, but I thought I'd
ping the list to see if there were alternate reasons.
Thanks,
Matt
