So i was driving the other day and noticed a faint brake noise. I attributed that to my worn rotors. Now it has become amazingly worse and it only seems to do it when turning left and driving down uneven road which made me think wheel bearings. Just wanted any opinions or helpful info.

sway bar sounds like running over loose man hole covers, metal on metal. after its happens to you once you will always remember what it sounds like.

How thin are your rear pads? May be touching the caliper.

take it to a brakes plus. they'll look at it for like $20.00 charge.... then fix it yourself.
Also, if you're going to drop the cash on new pads, always throw $10.00 out there to have the rotors turned.

i wish i had the money to take it somewhere to be looked at. it would make life easier for me but im flat broke so im gona have to find a way to do the looking myself. and as far as the rotors being turned i dont know of any places around me that still do that. Of all the places ive worked nobody cuts them anymore which i think is ridiculous.

Ha.. I have a squeaking driver rear noise.. Replaced pads nothing, replaced rotor nothing replaced caliper nothing replace shocks nothing, new lower control arms nothing... Everytime i replace something it stops for a day or two then it starts over..
So an update for anyone that's interested. I took my car to a dealership to get an oil change and have the car looked over. Looking over it is all they did. They gave me a list of this that needed to be fixed and the rear brakes apparently had no problems. I find it hard to believe that they didn't hear the brakes when it was pulled into the shop. They never took apart a single thing to get a better look. So i decided to start replacing what they recommended and i got new rotors cause the back ones were bad. Not only were they the incorrect rotor but the axles have ablout 1/2 inches of play in and out. I've never had to do a rear so i have no idea what could have possibly gone wrong. Any ideas what would go bad or wear that may cause this? Is it worth it to rebuild or get a new rear? WTF always somehting
In and out movement is normal, its up and down movement you have to worry about, by the time you actually have enough play to be concerned with you'd also have leaking rear axle seals and a constant bearing noise in the rear.
The movement you're probably feeling is the axle sliding in and bumping up against the deadman's pin. The axles are designed to move in, but have a c clip that slides around the axle shaft that keeps them from coming out, you have to push the axle in to remove the clip
