Noises Coming From Rear Axle
Stuck Handbrake
If the fault mentioned above is determined, it may be caused by a hand-brake cable becoming stiff or stuck.
As a result of a defective dust protection sleeve or because of a damaged sheath, moisture or dirt can find its way into the Bowden cable. Corrosion or internal damage can then cause the hand-brake cable to jam. If this happens, the lever on the brake caliper will not be able to move into its end position, which in turn causes the brake pad to press lightly against the brake disc. The resulting friction during driving generates unpleasant noises, and also causes the brake pad and brake disc to wear. In these cases, the hand-brake cables are to be checked and replaced if necessary.
Repair Note
If the brake pads or the brake discs have also been damaged in the process, it is recommended that these also be renewed.
