Since I'm stumped after all the manipulations I dropped the car at my
inde to test drive and maybe their trained ears can define the problem.
Since switching the rotors didn't change anything I looking at all
possibilities.

How about the rear wheel bearings? Whe
Barry,
Both rotors were replaced at the same time and only the left has been
a problem. Last night I switched rotors and on my ususal drive to work
got the same results on the left side. I dropped the car at my local
shop and asked for someone to give it drive until they hear the noise.

Neal -
Along the same line of thought as Jim, how about measuring the OD of the
"new" rotor. Could it possibly be too great of a diameter and sometimes
under the right conditions be rubbing inside the caliper?

I know this is strange. And for years I had no problems with the rear
brakes or noise. This car had been used by my ex until last year and I
rarely drove it unless to tend to a repair job. But in the last year,

Maybe wheel bolts are too long to give a tight fit, but I really snug
them with a cheater bar.
This sounds totally strange. The rotor is one piece, and is supposed
to be tightly pinned between the hub and the wheel by the bo
