loud rubbign sound from the front driver side?

[D_roc]

started last night and its a loud rubbing sound gets louder when speed increases and only happens when the wheels are straight not when they are turned? i replaced the bearings on that side like 2mo's ago so what can i be?

Did you check your splash guards make sure there not missing screws or the plastic in the wheel well make sure its all secured as well as the ones under the front bumper

[D_roc]

the splash guards are fine, this is more of a metal rubbing sound and its wicked loud but can hear well inside the cabin with the windows up can't hear much from the out side

Is it a rhythmic sound or a more constant one? Can you try and describe it?

Most of the things I can think of that would cause a rubbing noise wouldn't be affected by steering angle.

[D_roc]

its more of a rhyming like a train

you grease the bearing properly? any suspension pieces loose? do you have a large nailhead sticking out of the tire?

[D_roc]

the bearings are sealed and alredy greesed, and no nail heads

[dblanehopr]

forgot this one...your inner rims. any chance you did a curb check, warping your rim? or have you had that rim balanced and possibly the counterweights are rubbing the caliper?

[D_roc]

just got the tires changed like a month ago and along i got the wheelas balanced too but i have noticed that the brake padel goes in like butter. can it be a brake proble,m?

[dblanehopr]

warped rotor.



or somethign wrong with the pad.

[dblanehopr]

edit: air in your brakeline and the caliper piston isn't retracting from the rotor.

thanks it was the bearign again! ths ime i ordered a hub too so hopefully it will work

[dblanehopr]

see now. i was wondering but you said it was new. i knew it! lol. i swear i did think of it, but i guess i thought that was too obvious. what is it with new part installs not working properly?

[D_roc]

yea we used the old hub thats probably why

[dblanehopr]

sux bro. everything copasetic now?

[D_roc]

hope so got the parts today and now the other side is a little wobbly too so soon i'll have to replace the whole 9yards in the other dies yay............ not

[dblanehopr]

anytime i've gotta do anything on wheels or suspension i do both sides so it's even.
