Default Re: Update on rear brake/axle sound .. whine sound ...

It seems Rick hasn't been here since 11/06 ?
As for me it still makes noise
I found when I tied off the parking brake spring /lever the noise stopped so its not the suspention? I found a little brake lube on the pads will temporary stop the noise.
Im at 43K now at 49K Im going to bring it to the dealer and see if they came up with a fix by now?


I saved this F5put it up on the X forum some time ago,maybee I can talk the dealer into a brake job before warranty expires.


Subject: Brakes Grunt, Groan, Grinding Noise from Rear When Vehicle Comes to a Stop (Refinish Rear Rotors) #07-05-23-004 - (09/26/2007)
Models: 2006-2008 HUMMER H3

Condition
Some customers may comment on a grunt, groan or grinding noise coming from the rear of the vehicle when coming to a stop.

Cause
Rotor corrosion generates a slip-stick condition transferring vibration through the suspension.

REPLACE THE ROTORS ONLY IF THE ROTOR THICKNESS IS BELOW THE MINIMUM THICKNESS SPEC AFTER REFINISH.

Refinish the rear rotors by removing 0.4 mm from both rear rotor surfaces.

Do not replace the brake pads unless the condition requires it (i.e. excessively worn, damaged, or contaminated).

If the noise persists, a brake dampening compound may be applied to the back of each pad. This allows parts to slide freely and not vibrate when moving relative to each other.
