Sqealing in the real axle
Lately my 97' 2.2 CL has been making a metal on metal sqealing sound in the rear. I have checked my rotor and they are fine, would it be my bearings? It changes with the speed so I am assuming it has something to do with the rotation of the tires. Anyone ever had this happen? Any help is appreciated.
thx

If the pads and rotors are good and the caliper isn't sticking, I would definitely assume wheel bearing. How many miles do you have on the car?

Did you only check the outboard brake pads? If the caliper slide pins are crappy, one of the inboard pads might be almost worn down. The inboard ones are the ones that have the screetch tabs on them.
Then check out the wheel bearing. That's a good possibility.
If it's a real ugly grinding sound, you may have a small stone stuck between the rotor & the splash sheild. That happened to me, it was such a horrible sound, then it suddenly quit when the stone fell out on the ground.
