basically something has gone tits up round back, whenever you drive it a loud whirring and rubbing noise comes from the back wheels. so i had the bearings changed a couple of months ago on both sides. it went away for a bit but has come back and it sounds like the brakes are kind of locking. so yesterday my mechanic friend took the wheel off and then the caliper. now the hand break was off but you still couldnt turn the disc so he took the big bolt off thats infront of the bearing, turned out the tossers hadnt fixed it properly and the locking ring had come loose this in turn had pushed the disc back into the dust shield behind the discs and the rubbing had totally worn off two bolts on the shield so we pulled it off. my mate then repressed the bearing and said it might still be knackered though. but anyway today i tried driving it and the noise is worse than ever and sounds like it may be coming from the otherside (its hard to tell which side).
so my question is besides bearings, sticking calipers and warped discs what could be making such a racket!?!?
sorry for the essay but its doing my head in. i'll be taking it back to this garage and gettin them to sort out the bearing thing! they also broke a wheel bolt too.
cheers for any insights into this guys!
