That could be your rear end itself, when is worn it will star to whistle and it eventually it will jam, but also if was bend due to an accident that could happen too

I will guess some where between $400 to $500 if they have to replace the entire brake system! But please be sure is that before replacing!

My best advice is to have your rear differential checked first!

Have that check first before doing anything with the brakes!
