Bad brake sound
My brakes on right side sound like a dying walrus. As I brake to stop they make arrrgh, arrrgh, arrrgh sound in ever-slower rhythm to revolution of wheel. No sound at other times -- only when braking. Pads are okay. Casual visible inspection shows nothing awry. Any thoughts on what else in brake system could cause this sound?
I checked the suspension components and they seem fine. Appreciate any thoughts or leads.

Yes, stock brakes on an 84 Euro Carrera.

"Appreciate any thoughts or leads"
Is the sound coming from the front or rear? Do you have limited slip? I had a belt break on the right rear tire, which caused the tire to be out of round so much that the differential clucth plates were slipping at slow speeds. I thought it was the rear caliper sticking but after taking it apart, I didn't find anything wrong with it. I then checked the tire while the wheel was off and noticed the broken belt. |

Interesting, I'll take a close look at tire but I'm fairly certain that is not it. Sound is coming from right rear. Very much an abrading mechanical sound, only when I brake.
The option codes for car say I do have limited slip.
