Driver side wheel noise

[paint94979]

At low speeds I here a churp churp sound like something is loose? at high speeds i can't hear it. Could it be my wheel bearing assembly? it is annoying as all hell. It started after the drag event in October. Could too much fluid in the front diff have anything to do with it?

I would left the front end and see if you can woble your tire back and forth. I took out Wendy's other side shorty after the last drag event.

Really? Kat when your driver side wheel bearing needed to be replaced what sounds came from it?

The first one was a squeak but different from the belt. The 2nd one made no noise at all. They found it when checking for the bad lugs, after you and Chris said they might be a problem.

Mine does this too. Pulled the tires Friday and the bearings are good. Maybe check the rotar sheilds. I couldn't find the problem on mine. Thinking maybe it's in the front shafts.

front u-joint?

When my front bearing went it had a slight growl or low grind to it. I could feel it through the steering wheel.

It could be the brake shield, sometimes those get bent back into the rotor and cause a slight chirp. Also, check the back side of the rotors for uneven wear. Mine where totally f'ed up, while the front sides looked good, that could also cause some crazy noises.

you have to have the wheel on to really check the wheel bearing so you can get leverage to rock it. Also is the truck wandering on road. Mine was and I hardly realized it since it goes bad slowly. Put a new bearing assembly and no more low grind or wander on the road. Napa has them for $300

I know the sound you are talking about. I'm pretty sure it is the steering shaft clunking around

I got a chirp chirp as well. It's from having two cracked pads, one on each side. Allows the pads to sag into the rotors .....
