Thread: Popping, slight squeaking, and possibly wobblyness from rear driver side tire.

At least I think it's the rear drivers side. So I was just driving along, when POP POP POP POP, so I start to slow down, then the popping slows at the same time. I get out, check the tires, try to wobble them, everything feels good. So I try to go real slow, and there is a slight wobbly feeling, and a little squeak, from what feels like the rear driver side wheel.

The only thing I had done previously was park on a hill, properly with the parking break, and yes I took it off before moving again. I had also noticed last week some slight wobbling at high speed, but I threw that out as it was time for my tires to be rotated and balanced (which it is time to do anyway)

Any ideas? First thing I can think of off the top of my head is a bearing or a control arm..

Just checked all the lugnuts, all super tight and secure. I think I may have to jack each corner up and feel for play in every tire.

There are no tie rods in the rear....

Check the lateral links, trailing arm, and hub for play. Also grab the coil spring and pull and then push forward a few times to see if there is anything going on with the strut and mounts.

Wheel hub and bearing are good. Me and my neighbor think it is probably something going wrong with the emergency break. Will keep you all updated!

Here is the update. I was able to drive it to my neighbors garage today and put it up on his lift. The hub checks out, lubed up the e brake cable just in case.
