Rear Right Hand Wheel Squeak!

G'Day,
After a really rough trip up to Cape Leveque and back over the weekend (corrugations were very bad) Ive noticed a squeak coming from the rear right hand wheel when traveling at low speed. It is a rotating squeak, meaning it happens once per revolution of the wheel. Ive jacked up the car to give the bearing a good shake and its all solid as a rock. with the wheel off and rotating the disk I can hear it from that hub area. Ive checked its not the diff or drive shaft. It almost sounds like a rubber type of sound but cant for the life of me pin point any further as I had no time to keep pulling it apart. I used the hose to wash the brake caliper and pads out to see if it was debris stuck in there. This eliminated the noise for a period of time but later that night it was back again. I have read some older posts finding loose rear wheel covers, flogged out shockies etc etc being the problem but not an answer for my particular predicament. Any ideas please?

Cheers,

Handbrake shoes need adjusting. IMO

I recently lost one of the bendy retaining pins (for want of the correct name!) that hold the handbrake shoe to the backing plate. It let the shoe move just enough to touch the drum giving me an intermittent squeak.

Had to buy a whole set of pins/springs and clips just to replace the one pin and retaining clip. If you're in need of any parts let me know and you can have anything that's of use to you from the left overs.

I had the same thing happen last year, I just replaced the pins with bolts and all seems fine.

Yeah that's what it'll be. The clip can come loose and cause the pin to rub on the hub. Has happened to me twice now! Both times I fixed it in caravan parks. ;-) Easy to fix but annoying.

May still be the bearing, had the same squeek on my front right and it was the bearings, bearing kits RRP from $390 at Toyota.
