okay i have this loud metal on and off grinding sound from the back passenger side wheel... it sounds the same as when you have to change your pads cuz the sensor is hitting the disc... i changed the discs and pads and 5 minutes later the noise was back.. it takes a few minutes before it starts... I have read some old posts about hub bolts and what not, is this the same thing..there is no clicking sound this is a grinding noise like er er er er er er.... when i swerve right it goes away, when i swerve left it is louder then ever. Please help anyone...

 

Bad wheel bearing?

 

check out the tsb for rear hub clearances

 

There is no TSB on the rear hubs.

There is a service news article covering retorqueing the axle nuts, for a clicking sound when changing direction.

xviper's on the right track, you need to be looking at all the pieces that rotate on the right rear corner.

 

I've had that noise before and it was a bad wheel bearing.

 

okay i retorqued it and it went away, is it true it will come back in about a week or 2, should i just change out the wheel bearings? I have a new rear diff, maybe they just didnt set it right after replacing it??

 

i have the same damn noise! its driving me nuts and i jsut got my S 3 days ago

 

For me, that sound was a failing wheel bearing. Re-torquing the axel nut helped temorarily, but the only true fix is to replace the bearing. I bought a bearing and hub from hardtopguy for a good price, a friend dissassembled the knuckle for me, and he took it to a machine shop that pressed the old bearing out and the new one in for twenty bucks cash.
