    Puma 2.2 Squeal when cornering

    When ever i turn left or right with my 2014 D90 There is a fairly loud squealing that comes from the back wheels of the car,
    I am not sure which side but it only happens when i am doing 20-35km/h and turning a corner at those speeds.

    I have greased the sway bar rubbers with rubber grease, checked the rear wheel carrier as i thought it was that, Checked rear bearings and to see if the wheels are rubbing the shocks but to no avail.

    It sounds like a metal to metal squeal over a rubber to metal kind of sound.
    Bit of a long shot but has anyone come across a similar issue?

    The rotors have 1.5~ mm left either side.
    I have 6 months or so left i might just do that, I was hoping to tell LR the sound was coming from somewhere specific.

    How many kays on the vehicle?
    1.5mm either side of what? I've never done the brakes on mine, but some vehicles have wear indicators on the pads (little metal tabs) that squeak when they touch the rotor.

    If it's under warranty, have it looked at, and make it their concern to find the location.
    If it wasn't you might have some luck jacking up just one rear wheel, and manipulating by hand, along with visual checks of any moving parts (looking for anything that's loose, worn clean from touching another part of the vehicle, etc).
    And don't underestimate the (slow) circlework in a car park while someone listens / watches the vehicle as you drive around them. You should be able to work out left or right hande side easily this way.

    1.5mm before it hits minimum rotor thickness, I think there is still a bit of meat left on the pads but ill remove them and have a look.

    54,000km on the clock.
    I did all the checks when i removed the heavy duty coils and put standard coils back in.

    I had to do rear pads on mine before 40k although that was with heaps of off-road and beach work and lots of traction control.
    It's now got nearly 50k and fronts will be due shortly, and no I don't ride the brakes
