Returned home yesterday after ~30mile trip suddenly there was a screeching sound from backend driver's side then it stopped. Drove around block a few times to test intermittent screeching. Thought it was a brake drum problem.
Car up on stands and driver's side rear drum off after a few problems - overnight WD40 soak required then it popped off.
Inspected shoes and retaining pins - all OK.
Whilst rotating drum by hand could hear a grating sound from diff end of output shaft. Boxed it back up and reversed out of garage - no problem. On driving forward severe screeching from driver's side again,
Back end back up on stands - engine started - ASC switched off - drive selected - rear wheels rotating - revved up gradually through speed range until 80mph equivalent reached - no problems - even more
.
Jack placed under suspension arm and angle altered to normal run position - repeated speed checks no problem - still
.
Back to normal - road tested - no problems. Tried not to cheer as something must have been wrong and may still be lurking.
Anybody else had similar? Opinions/advice please.
