Bad Axle? I have a hissing noise, its like hiss hiss hiss hiss when im driving on and off the brakes, i first thought that my caliper was hung up, so my bf took the caliper off and greased the two bolts, i also changed the breaks thinking it would be the squeelers but i still have the noise.
its coming from the left rear, so now im thinking it might be an axle.
I know its hard to explain a noise, but any suggestions on how to tell whether or not I'm on the right track with the thought of a bad axle would be great, and if you think its something else i need to check out anything would help. thanks guys

I had the same problem and still have it actually. My mechanic took a look at it and it turns out that my axles are slightly bent, and my axle bearings went bad. Got the axle bearings replaced and they got messed up again about two months later. He said it happens when you drive the car hard and said that I should always keep TCS off unless im driving in rainy weather. Of course he could be full of **** and have no idea but thats what my mechanic said.

thanks for the imput guys, i really think its an axle, the noise is getting worse the more i drive it, the funny thing is that i dont drive it "hard". The only time i get on it is when i have to pass someone going so slow its making me crazy, and that only happens once in awhile.
my dad is going to take a look at it *master tech* and tell me what he finds, ill post it up so maybe it will help some of you guys out too.
i will say if my axle is bent im gonna be pissed, because my dad will want to replace both axles and bearings, $$$$$
