Noise from the rear axle

[r_i_d_a_h]

hey folks,

got a standard VS with solid axle single spinner, and ive notice theres a high pitch squeaking noise coming from the diver side rear wheel and it squeaks in intervals and if i go faster, the interval of squeaks get qwiker aswell, Although when i would put my foot on the brake the squeaking stops.

what could the problem be? and what is needed to resolve it?

sounds like a warped disc and maybe a sticking brake caliper also

would brake machining fis the warped disc? or am i better off getting a brand new one? and how would i go with the sticking calipers?

A machining will fix it, if its only a small amount of warp, but thats if u dont have a lip on the end of ya rotors, if they are a bit worn, would be best just to get new onse.

I had about 2mm of lip on my rotors, the mech wouldnt machine them as they wouldnt leave me a thick enough base, thus warping it again.

Could also be that ur bearing are a bit dry, squeeling a lil, when u do the rotors, pack the bearings again with sum high temp bearing grease aswell while ur there

i remember reading some where about the minium thickness of the discs. whats the minium thickness for my rears?

[calais_cruzin]

On VP is 9.5mm minimum thickness,

Thats for a 279mm diameter rotor, i think VR/VS have the same rotor size, just different hubs.

i measured my discs with a caliper and they're approximatley 10.2mm will that be enough to have them machined??
