Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / February 2006humming from rear
My 99 GLE is starting to act up now. It has 36K and never a problem before this except for body work. There is an intermittent low pitched humming coming from the rear of the car. Rotors look good but the breaks are low now. Any thoughts? The heat shield was hanging which some one told me may be the cause so I took it off (it was rusting out). I think it might get worse on right turns but maybe my imagination. The sound definitely is present. Barings I think are fine because its not a singing. It could be your rear brake(s) is dragging (i.e. the caliper is sticking, or the parking brake cable is binding). Cheers, Nirav 96 Max GLE, 129k Thats what I first thought but without thinking I took it to the dealer (big waste of $43) and they said all they could see wrong was the loose heat shield and that I needed brakes all around. > It could be your rear brake(s) is dragging (i.e. the caliper is > sticking, or the parking brake cable is binding). > > Cheers, > Nirav > 96 Max GLE, 129k > My 99 GLE is starting to act up now.

It could still be a bearing if the pitch changes or it stops when you go around a corner. Humming? Maybe it's forgotten the words? (Sorry couldn't resist) I had a humming in a car, that sounded something like a low pitched machine was running. In the end, it turned out to be the differential that required to be rebuilt.
