Hello every body! I have a 2007 Tahoe, 5.3 flex. It, right now, runs god. After a BIG engin repair. Broken/stuck lifter....... Witch I understand is almost "standard" on this engin.
But now I have a smaller problem. I have a metall to metall sound, from the rear right, when I turn right.
And it's different if it's dry or wet outside. And how hard I turn. I replaced the brake pads and discs. Checked the wheel bearing, ok. Any ides?

Welcome from NJ. Have you checked the rear brake backing plates? Sometimes they could do that when they get bent or get rusty. Post up some pics of the Tahoe when you get a chance.

In addition to Tony's suggestion on the backing plate, it could also be the parking brake components. Did you inspect the parking brake shoes and hardware, and check the adjustment, when you replaced the rear rotors?

Stockholm is a beautiful city! I have family in Upplands Vasby and have been there many times.

Thanks for the nice welcoming. (Will post som pics)
Backing plate? Is that the shield inside/parallel w rotors?
I will take it apart again and check the parking brakes. I feel that it needs adjusting so could that be it...
