squealing on back wheels

1990 300zx Auto (import)

 

guys, was driving into work today, and after going over 30mph the back starts to squeal, 1st from one side, and then the other.

 

its sounds very likely like work braks rubbing when the brakes arent in use, but if i brake sudenly, the noise doesnt change, so I am fairly unsure that it is that, my next guess was the steering, again no change in noise and pitch.

 

will put her up on the ramps tonight to try and find the problem, but does anyone have any ideas of what it could be before i jump under the car?

    just so one of you may have the same problem, the issue was on the front discs not the rear - so apologies for that, there was a buildup on the edge of the disk that was causing the awful sound. a grinder and some swearing has resolved the problem.

    Sounds like you may need new discs? Your braking will be poor and it might trash your pads so keep an eye on it.

    Royal - the pads have loads of meat left on them.

     

    it was only a build up upon the edge of the disc. ground them off. and all is fine. problem resolved.
