Rear wheel/brake noise...

Well a few months ago I noticed some odd rubbing/clunking sound from my rear right tire, it seemed to make more noise when more people/weight was in the car... basically a rubbing/grinding noise on the brakes (only sometimes) or odd clunks and such in a turn/bump from that side.

 

Rotors and caliper was brand new... old caliper was seized up. I was like WTF. It kept getting worse so I took a look and when I span the rotor I could see it move closer/further away as I span it from the mounting bracket so I figured it was a badly warped rotor and it was defective or something.

 

So I throw a new rotor on and... it looks like it has a wobble just like the old one did! Oh well put it on anyways, it's starting to snow I just need to get it done.

 

The noise went away for the most part, for a while. Now it is starting to come back again.

 

WTF is going on?

I have only seen one hub that was bent. And it was on my TGP after my wife did a curb check, taking out a hub, 2 rims, and 1 tire.

Nope, no pics. Was a little to pissed to take pics. She had also gotten a ticket in the TGP a week prior for doing 43, in a 20mph school zone.

 

The TGP has been sitting in storage since. Dont want there to be a 3rd time is the charm.

Humm not sure about the rust, I think I would have noticed.

 

Yes I know their the right rotors. The noise is starting to get worse now.

 

The car/tire looks fine from the outside, I need to get it up in the air and pull on the tire some. If that doesn't lead anywhere then I am lost may just have my mechanic look at it when I get him to put my Intrax springs on :-p
