2001 Mustang rear noise after sitting

Topic starter

Hey Scotty, I've got a 2001 Ford Mustang v6. After it sits overnight I hear a loud noise coming from the left rear wheel. Not a squeak or squel it almost sounds like an elephant. 

It also makes the same noise after washing my car and water gets on that wheel. 

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

If it was a wheel bearing, it would make noise anytime - or all the time. My bet is that your rear brake on that side is dragging, and needs to have the caliper rebuilt/replaced. (Except if this happens only when you use the parking brake, that would be the source).


I hardly use the parking brake. And it doesn't do it all the time only when sitting overnight and I go to move it
