i currently have a noise coming from the nsr wheel. i changed the back brakes the other week and i started to get a noise which sounded like the wheel bearing. so i changed the wheel bearing and now the noise still persists, i only get the noise after i drive the car for a while. i pored some water on the wheel the other night and the steam that came from it was unbelievable. i thik its the disc rubbing on the pads and geting to hot the making the noise.

anybody got any ideas? much appreciated if anyone can help.

When you fitted your rear pads on the stilo did you notice that there is a locating pin ..if you didnt seat the pad in the caliper correctly with the pin to piston in the correct position the whole lot will bind..also did you or didnt you slacken the hand brake cable before you fitted the pads..?
To be or not to be that is the question..???????

All wheel bearings need to be touqued down to a specific reading and in this repect over tightening is as bad as under tightening..more so as you have an abs pick up on the bearing..gone I think are the old practices of tightening a bearing and then backing it of to the next space on the castled nut..they were the good and easier times of auto maintainance which by and large are now sadlely gone..
