That's what I was expecting for an answer. Just thought I'd ask in case I was wrong. Oh well, I'm looking to get another rear end build for me anyway.

C5 rear brakes. I pulled the rear brakes apart yesterday and couldn't find anywhere that there was contact occurring. There was plenty of clearance between the rotor and abutment pad with the axle pushed in or pulled out. I have no interior in the car so I'm rather positive on the location of the noise. Guess I should look elsewhere too just in case.

Thanks
