Thread: Solved - Grinding on Rear Left side only when turning right

Hey All, have a fun one started with my D3, when turning sharply to the right i have a grinding metal sound like pads on the rear right only. I have pulled the wheel off and checked if anything appear loose but couldn't see anything or any backing plates etc with damage or hitting. wheel back on a road tested and noted the same again, if you take a round about to the right you can hear it.

i did not the left rear drum/disc felt a lot hotter than the right? ill try the brake bible and adjust the shoes for the EPB but was wondering if anyone has encountered anything like it. Maybe a spring retainer broken or loose in the rear Park brakes and allowing the shoe to hit the drum with centrifugal force when cornering ? I need to get a 15mm 12point socket yet to be able to remove the callipers to get the disc off to check. any leads would be great.

Also has anyone downloaded the manuals from here, i need to get some and like the idea of supporting the group, do they cover all that's needed.

Cheers

What kms?

Rear ! wasn't as much speed but the force turning right. hard or a long sweeper made it sound. the noise was the disc rubbing on the calliper mount as it has that much movement.
just jack a wheel up and try the old up/dow and side to side rock it was very visible once this happened. Although 2 days before i had it up in the air and spun that wheel and noted no movement
but after just 2 days and getting someone to drive while i sat in the back and leaned out it got a lot worse. but was notable from 10-15 kms on with turning.
