Update on rear brake/axle sound .. whine sound ...

[OU812]

... 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.

Rick and others was there ever any resolution to your rear brake grind, or are you just living with it?

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.

Mine started grinding today. It's the rears.

noise still there...34000 miles

Just got back from a hundred mile round trip. Noise went away.

The "grinding" (for lack of a better word) sound occurs when the weight of the vehicle is pushed forward, during a hard brake, downhill only.

I'm thinking the noise is suspension related...resembling a slight grinding sound. I had all 4 windows down also.

My brakes check out fine.
