Neal -
Along the same line of thought as Jim, how about measuring the OD of the
new rotor. Could it possibly be too great of a diameter and sometimes
under the right conditions be rubbing inside the caliper?

Well, just reading the
Barry,
Both rotors were replaced at the same time and only the left has been
a problem. Last night I switched rotors and on my ususal drive to work
got the same results on the left side. I dropped the car at my local
shop and asked for someone to give it drive until they hear the noise.

guess it's time to switch rotors as a test as I'm getting a bit

replacing parts with no effect. Thanks for the help .
Neal,
How about the rear wheel bearings?
Since I'm stumped after all the manipulations I dropped the car at my
inde to test drive and maybe their trained ears can define the problem.
Since switching the rotors didn't change anything I looking at all
possibilities.

Neal,
First note that back shock absorbers can make funny noises too. However if
you believe the problem is with breaks here is a couple of things to try.
#1 swap rotors with other side.
#2 take brake caliper and compress it like you were putting on new pads.
Then take a pair of needle nose
Thanks for the help Trampas.

I know this is strange. And for years I had no problems with the rear
brakes or noise. This car had been used by my ex until last year and I
rarely drove it unless to tend to a repair job. But in the last year,
after the rotors were replaced, this noise appeared. Since I thought it

more convinced that the rotor is the problem; it

Well, just reading the above I'd say you have defective rotors,
or the wrong ones.
