Noise coming from underneath

Ok, got another problem with my '94 Pathy 4x4.

 

There is a rubbing like sound coming from underneath the truck - maybe towards the front. I can only hear it when the truck is in motion and it seems to correspond with how fast I'm going. I don't think it's the brakes even though I could use some new pads.

 

Any ideas?

Sure it's not the brakes? Since it's an easy thing to do I'd lube the slide pins on the calipers, Our truck was making that noise and lubing the slide pins helped the brakes release properly and it went away. If not check if anything is hitting the wheel or if the brakes dust shield is bent and rubbing.

 

Could be a bad wheel bearing as well.

Like he said^ If it is rpm dependant, it is probably from the spindle on out...

Sometimes it is just something wedged in. :shrug:

 

Just jack it up, wiggle the wheel top to bottom front the side iof the truck for play (that could indicate loose wheel bearings which can make that noise), take the wheel off, check for anything wedged, stuck or binding, lube the caliper slides, check the brake pads, bleed the brakes and see what it does.
