99 S70 Brake Vibration when NOT braking S70

I just purchased a 99 S70 for my daughter to drive. I love her but I really bought it so I could get my 1990 760T back.

I was driving it home and a very loud, high freq. vibration developed from the rear drivers wheel. It would stop when the brake was applied. When I got home the wheel was hot (just hot, not blistering hot).

Any ideas.

Thanks in advance,
Hawkeye

    Rear caliper probably stuck. You can try cleaning off the piston and greasing it, but be prepared to replace the caliper.

    Please answer, we need to know if the advice is good or bad. The 164 has a new home, all I am left with are 2 turbos :)
