the problem is, you don't know what the noise was, and you sprayed lube oil all over the moving parts back there... rendering that brake pad useless...


the rear wheel is super easy to diagnose, all you have to do is remove the tire, remove the caliper, remove the rotor, and look at the hub for signs of overheating etc... if it's brake pads, you'll see it... if you see good pad material then further inspection will show what is bad.

and post your location please... really, if a member lives near you, they will likely come help! you live in a very large community, populated with many MB'ers (yes, I can see where you live... muhahaha!!!)
