My 06 Saturn Ion has a chirping sound coming from the back when braking

When braking at lower speeds I hear a sound coming from the rear of the car which is synchronous with the rotation of the wheels. No other symptoms but suspect that the left rear wheel bearing might have a rough spot in it. May or may not have anything to do with the higher pitch noise I am hearing. Brakes have about 8000 miles on them since the drums were turned and brakes overhauled/replaced. I removed the drum and everything looks good in there.

SOURCE: rear wheel/brake noise

first check condition of discs and pads if all is good drive and pull up handbrake slowly to see if its the handbrake shoes making the noise if still a problem will most probably be rear wheel bearings

check that you havent bent the baking plate behind rotor or drum that it is just touching the disc rotor and any anti rattle clips on brake caliper that they are fitted correctly.

If you are using a screwdriver instead of a brake spoon - then you will need two screwdrivers - one to rotate the adjuster star and one to push the plate back that holds it.

SOURCE: Annoying chirping squeaking sound coming

Try spinning the rear wheels by hand and see if you can hear the noise, if not it may need to have a load on the wheels indicating a possible bearing, or could be a loose brake pad or backing plate. Also see if anything is touching the drive axels.

I'll need more information! Is this with the ignition on, engine off? Ignition on and engine on? When stopped? When moving? Travelling in a straight line? Cornering? Speeding up or slowing down? When braking? When changing gear? Please comment with more info if you would like more help.

Knocking nosie from left side of 06 saturn ion? hear it all the time but mainly after 2nd gear when it shifts is the worst part?

Have your motor supports checked. Also the drive shaft could be causing the problem if that knocking is not coming from inside the motor.

Toyota highlander front wheel noise when turning left

Check the brake rotor backing plate to see if it is rubbing against the brake rotor, check the brake pad condition at the same time, it may be the low brake pad sensors that you are hearing.

My 06 Saturn ion only clicks when I try to start it

Check to make sure your battery is good. The sound you are probably hearing is the starter cylinoid. You can take it to a parts store (like auto zone) and they will check it for you free of charge.

What fuse box and location is the power windows fuse at on a 2006 saturn ion

The fuse box in the 06 ion is under the floor covering on the drivers side seat. Just move the seat all the way to the rear and then starting in the front near the pedals pull up the floor covering which is attached by velcro.
