Changed back to stock rims

Post by IceCold »

Well I did for my Finance's car and now there is a grinding sound coming from the rear right tire. Kinda difficult to describe but kinda sounds like a flat tire (the tire is not flat). When I apply the brakes it gets a lot louder so Im thinking it has something to do with the brakes. She has a Lancer so the rear brakes are drum. Does anyone have any ideas as to what this could be and how I could possible fix it. Thanks

Perhaps you should try taking the wheel off, cleaning any dirt or debris from the rotor, and then reinstalling it?Maybe it's just not sitting right...
YES!I still visit GenVibe periodically. I have not forgotten about my "original" family over here!
