While driving the other day, the rear brakes or rear end started making a rubbing noise, but when i applied the brakes it stopped, then when i let off the brake pedal,it started rubbing again. i took the rear wheels off and had a helper apply the brakes and everything seems to be working ok. calipers and pads seem to be ok. don't know what else it could be.

CHECK YOUR UNIVERSAILS COULD BE WORN OR DRY U NEED TO PULL OUT THE SHAFT TO CHECK PROPLEY CHECK FOR STIFFNESS AND NOTCHEY MOVEMENT
SOURCE: Rubbing or grinding noise coming from Driver side rear tire/wheel
I had the same problem that based on interner research is common for Fords trcuks/suvs. The common problem fro rear humming "rubbing"sound might be the rear wheel bearings/seal. These will need to be replaced as it will progressivly get worse and the noise louder and eventually the bearings can sieze. I would hesitate to take to a ford dealer if I were you as it can run $500-900. Take to mechanic that knows how to replace wheel bearings and seals. My mechanic replaced them for about $150. and the bearing and seals are around $40. A good way to test this is to raise the wheel were you can freely spin by hand...if does not spin or there is a lot of friction then it might be the wheel bearings.
Good Luck
SOURCE: Drum brakes causing intermittent grinding noise
Sounds like one of the springs that hold the rear brakes in place broke. Jack her up, pop off the tire, remove the drum and take a look. If you need to see what a good one looks like, look on the other side.
This is not a very common problem, but I saw it last year on a 69 chevelle.
Good Luck and thanks for using FixYa!!
