Rear end whirring/humming noise from I30

[jpk113]

i have an i30. i hear a humming noise from right rear tire. pull off hub assembly bearings look good, regrease put them back on. had to replace the caliper bracket one of the posts were frozen. jack the car up and spin the wheel sounds like the rear pad is dragging a bit. could i need a new caliper.

Possibly. I'd try cleaning and re-greasing the caliper slide pins first.

believe i replaced them. are those bolted to the bracket.

[maxhopper]

Those are the bolts that pass through the bracket and mount to the caliper.

If you replaced those, and the wheel spins freely I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I'd also check to make sure the parking brake cable isn't binding.
