02 1.25 Rear Wheel Noise - mcrez85
Hi,
my Fiesta has recently started making a creaking type noise that seems to be coming from the rear wheels when braking.
The noise only happens when stopping from low speeds (eg pulling up on the drive) or when stationary. When the handbrake is applied no noise is made.
A couple of weeks previous I changed the front disks and pads.

I would appreciate any information as to what is causing this noise or if it is something that needs checking out ASAP.

Thanks
Mark

Have you had damp weather like we have here?

It can be the rear shoes catching on the drum, best to remove check the wheel cylinder are not sticking and hand brake release ok?

Don't worry if one shoe is worn more than the other there like that when new.

Also spin the wheel and check for any noise like wheel bearing, fell for any play. good luck..
