I have a mk6 fiesta 52 plate when im driving there is a scraping/grinding noise coming from the rear end of my car and when im going round a corner it goes light on the handling could this be a bearing or something else thanks

SOURCE: grinding noise from rear. Brake pads? Bearing maybe?

Have the rear brakes inspected. These are real easy to change if they need to be. You need to look under the car just outside the differential. This is an inboard brake system so the wheels don't need to be removed.

Testimonial: "Thanks, I am going to have the rear brakes checked today."

SOURCE: i have a grinding noise near the back drivers side...

Sounds like a broken bearing. If your wheel is beginning to wobble it will make contact with the brake shoes and this will them very hot to the point of giving off a burning smell

SOURCE: Rear End Nosie

if it is a growling type noise that increases with speed it is a wheel bearing. can you tell which side it is coming from? if not sometimes when driving you can turn car and shift the vehicle weight the side making noise will quiet down some when the weight is shifted off it so if you turn to right and noise gets less it is rt side and so on

As you have indicated your vehicle is 2011, you should have this issue rectified under the New Car Warranty and repaired at no cost.

check to see how much pad is on the break pads also remove the rust around the disk as this some times catches on the pads making a scraping noise hope this helps ivan
