Re: Update on rear brake/axle sound .. whine sound ...
It's not a 'pulsating' feeling at all. Here's the scenario ... you're driving along, maybe about 40mph. You see the light change a block up. You start slowing, then have to come to a harder stop ..not an immediate 'slam on the brake', but a quick hard stop. Jusssssst seconds before you immediately stop, there is this grind you can feel for 5 seconds before you are stopped. It sounds like it's coming from the rear right. I THINK I can feel it in the brake pedal, too, but that could be only because I hear it, too. The driver definitely 'hears' and senses it more than the passengers ... but the passengers can hear it, too. It's quick ... just before the H stops moving. What bothers me, too, is that I don't offroad MINE. It's strictly a street driver. Yet, while in Las Vegas at "The Drive" ... the 2's and 3's, which go through the rigors of their offroad obstacle course time after time, day after day .. do NOT have this sound. AGH! I hate when someone at a dealer (Service Dept!!!!) tries to tell me with a straight face, "Oh, that noise? It's just a noise all H3's make." Same person who tired to tell me all H3's have drum brakes. "Nuff said. Thanks to all who scratching their heads here and trying to figure this out for me.
