dodgethis Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Has anyone notice not a rattle, but sort of a squealing coming from one of the front wheels? I had thought it was my hubcap, so I took it off. I even checked all the bolts, lug nuts, caliper bolts, t60 bolts etc. All bolts are tight. I can't find anything as to why it would squeal on that one side. It has got me a little concerned as i don't know if its a sign of a possible bad wheel bearing (though there is no growl, whatsoever). Anyone?

Schurkey Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Wear indicator on the brake pads? Pads loose in the caliper? Cracked steel wheel web? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urbex Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I had a problem with mine once, the brake pad has a little metal tab that I guess help reduce vibrations, well it had broke so the pad itself was moving ever so slightly that it was causing it to do that. I'd check your pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd check your pads. Gay, if that is the case, im not going to worry about it. The pads are pretty new, but if the its the ears that go into the piston of the caliper, i'll let them squeal away. If the wheel falls off i'll let you all know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUMINATOR Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I would take the tire off and check the brake caliper, pads and rotor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
