yozsi Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Hey guys, I'm getting this weird high pitched screech coming from the front right wheel. (people tell me it sound like a tea kettle going off) it starts at a few mph then quits at like 10-15mph. I know its not the brakes because thats just not the kind of noise it is. I dont know if the hubs are dry or something. anyone run into this sort of thing. looks like turning does not affect the noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 are they cheap brake pads? i had some advance pads that just had the shims glued on and over a couple months time the shim would work its way down and started hitting the spindle and made a pretty mean noise... for the hubs...does it seem like its extremely hot after driving? that would help point to the hub/wheelbearings did you check the brakes just to makes sure they weren't down to the screecher's or possibly have a rock stuck between the pad and rotor or maybe the spash shield hitting the rotor...i'd yank the tire off and see what i saw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yozsi Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 yea, i took the wheel off and looked. the brakes are fine, baking plate good. and the hub was not hot or anything. i have no clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 and these are knowledgeable folks not just hearing intake noise? or possibly rear brake noise? what about ball joints? i know wheelmans groaned until he hit about 20 and it was pretty loud...wouldnt call it a "tea kettle" noise tho...his you could just be barely rolling on a flat surface and it was bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yozsi Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 nah, i know what my intake noise sounds like. this is coming from my right front wheel area. its definately a tea kettle noise and its some times becomes an intermittent noise when i unload that wheel at low speeds. i think im going to pull the brakes all apart and see if i find anything.

daver123 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I have the same noise and i have no idea what it is either. It did it before and after i did my breaks so its not that and i did change the hubs to warns but it does it in 4 wheel and 2 wheel.... i dunno, i cant usually hear it over my massive exhaust leak, so when something breaks ill fix it. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Probably a grease seal has let some sediment into the wheel bearing assembly. My guess is you could use new inner seals, and to pack those bearings. That is, of course, if you're 100% sure it's not brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkorahil Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Does the noise return when you go back down below 15 MPH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95NPATHYSTYLE Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Bearings hugh. This must be a common problem mine has been driving me crazy for awhile now. Before & after I did the breaks. The guy at the dealership told me it was a rubber dust sheild that rotted off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yozsi Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 after a quick romp through some deep mud i think it got fixed, yup. no problems no more. that mud there took care of the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
