2003 honda crv rear wheel makes very loud whining noise when reversing. Sign In

2003 honda crv. 2.0 litre, 97,000 miles.

Hi,
Recently, when i reverse, the driver's side rear wheel makes a VERY loud whining noise. Rather than being a continuous whine it goes, 'whine, whine, whine....' etc. I'm not aware of any incident that would have lead to this, and i haven't made any attempt to fix it yet.

Can anyone suggest a probable cause?

Thanks in anticipation of your help.

That is up to you. You should pull the wheel off and inspect the brake components to start with. Is this AWD?

Yes, it's 4wd. I wouldn't know what i was looking at if i took the wheel off. I want to try and get a fair idea of what the issue might be before i take it to a mechanic.

Really difficult to give you an idea what it could actually be without driving and hearing the noise and inspecting the braking components and things in that area. Could be a problem in the brakes or something going on with the rear differential, but those are very vague guesses. Let your mechanic check it out and let us know what your mechanic finds out.

I took it to a mechanic and he said that I need new pads all round, new disks at the back, and that the whine was caused by a siezed sliding calliper on the break assembly. Cost to fix = £420 (about $700) . Yay!!

You could call around other shops in your area and get some quotes to see if your mechanic is in the ball park.
