I got a noise the last couple of days coming from the rearend i believe. once the tires start turning there is a "whistling" or high pitch squeeling noise. Sounds like something is wedged in somewhere. I've taken off all the wheels and haven't found anything. Just wondering if anyone has any advice before I take it in? 97 f-150 4x4 by the way. thanks

 

When you took off the wheels, did you inspect the brakes?

 

no not thoroughly. i don't know much of anything about the drum brakes and didn't have alot of time. I just hope it is something simple

 

If you can't figure out how to get the drums off to inspect the shoes and hardware or don't have a clue what you are looking at, take it in somewhere that advertises a free brake inspection.

 

thanks
