Help !! Grinding Noise...Driver's Rear Wheel

[freelance]

2016 Laramie Longhorn 1500.....3.92 rear axle. 57,000 miles

Had this terrible grinding noise from the left rear wheel when making really tight turns.....forward or reverse......more pronounced from a dead stop. Never made any noise while driving straight ahead. Always occurred after the truck/brakes were warmed up. Under warranty I received a new backing plate on that side's brakes. Never really fixed the problem but the grinding noise was significantly reduced. Now the truck is off warranty and the grinding noise is back. Same circumstances only the grinding is much much louder this time. I tow alot but nothing over 3000lbs.

What the hell is it ??

Should I take it back to my dealer who didn't fix it the first time....give them another shot or try somewhere else ??

Video and audio to follow.

Well I think you found the problem. Stop turning hard right, no more backwards driving.

Long time ago, I had a car with no reverse or power steering. That was during highschool though. Has a hard time keeping girlfriends - they got tried of pushing us back.

Really, I'd get in touch with the dealership. Check the repairs... If the noise was just when backing up, I'd suggest U-joint.

Let is know...

Do you use and lubricate/service your emergency brake annually?

It’s common to lose the pad from the shoe, especially in salt and corrosion Regions.

No. I don't think I've ever used the emergency brake. And I'm in a salt and corrosion region.

I had my right rear caliper freeze at about 38k miles. the freezing caused my rear left to wear faster causing grinding.
