Brake problem on rear right wheel
When I take my beetle for a ride the brakes the work normally with no noise, but after driving for about 10 km I begin to ear a gride noise when I brake, each time the wheel makes one turn on the rear right wheel. The drum was removed and found nothing and the noise disappeared for a while. Now it is back again and the noise is higher and begins sooner as the time goes by. I think that before I replace all the brake lines and shoes that wheel was overheated because the brake line of that wheel was blocked. Can it be a problem on the bearings? . That wheel is a little hotter then the other when I park the car and have more negative camber. It doesn’t shake but I felt a small vibration this weekend at speed of 120 Km/h Joao 72 Super 1302 |

After reassembly the drum it worked well for a month and then gride noise returned. Joao 72 Super 1302 |

I have several things to check on engine, because I made about 1500km after rebuild, put new heater cables and reset the rear suspension. I will be alone at home (no wife and sons around) so I will have time to that. I also have a list of thing to be done at home :-) Joao 72 Super 1302 |
