HELP!

[wrigbt7843]

Hello! Recently I purchased a fiesta st in the US and I have been experiencing, what can best be described as, a metal on metal scraping noise coming from the rear end passenger side. I can’t figure out what it is, I’ve checked my springs and they seemed fine. There’s no leaks and I replaced the spring isolators as well but still no improvement. If anyone has experienced something similar or has any clue help would be greatly appreciated!

Is it constant, over bumps, etc? When does the noise occur?

Sorry! Thought I added that. It only happens over bumps and some real hard left turns.

What are the condition of the rear rotors? When were the rear caliper pins last re-greased?

Check the spare is in correctly and tight.

Maybe check the top mounts of rear shocks too?

Yea my rear caliper on the passenger side is also either on its way out, or I need to clean and lube the pins again. I’m hoping the latter, just haven’t gotten around to it yet. Will probably have to replace my pads since mine have been dragging a while.

Dont forget about the purge assy bolted behind the drivers rear tire area - maybe a mounting tab has snapped and it's bouncing off the "frame".
