Default Noise at left rear.

When im driving down the road, I can hear a noise coming from the left rear. Its not a constant noise, but more like a card in a bike spoke. You know what i mean, it doesn't do it under acceleration, but it does do it at a constant speed and when braking. It almost sounds like the metal sound your breaks make when they are low. Any suggestions will help, thanks.

It could be your brakes or the rear wheel bearing. There was a sound like that coming from the s2000 and we thought it was the diff. Put it on a lift and locate the sound.

...that wouldn't sound like a wheel bearing to me then...that would be more or less a cv joint... I would consider checking both, because a wheel bearing wouldn't make a noise when turning....
