Hello, I am new to this forum and I was wondering if anybody can help me with this problem. I have a 2004 TF where recently I had scraping noises coming from the rear passenger wheel. The Pads are new and don't need replacing. I have replaced all four discs. I have also replaced the handbrake cable and both rear caliper's. However, I still have the same problem. My local mechanic has examined everthing and can't find the fault. The noise is a rotary scraping sound when I deselerate both on and of the brake at low speed. However, when I touch the accelerater the noise goes and repappears when I deselerate again. Can anybody offer any solution as what is causing this?
Thank you
David

Sounds like the wheel bearing.

I've had the same on rear drivers side... just picked up a new one from MGFnTF bits for £110..... will put on one eve.

Do you mean you have replaced the wheel bearing?

Replaced the whole hub part with a new one.... SO much better now!

I have also started to do this. The new hub gives you a new upper ball joint too, so you do two jobs in one, also it forces you to remove the abs sensor (if fitted) and the 9 times out of 10 seized bolt that holds it on and replace it for a new stainless one that wont weld itself to the hub casting! Oh and while you are at it why not clean the brakes up while they are off.....new drop links are a must too! you can get carried away, but once the hubs off, it does give you chances to replace a lot of wearing parts if you wish....mmmmm shiny new grooved EBC discs to go on the new hub .........
