-Intermittent grinding noise coming from driver front wheel. Frequency increases with speed.
-When I lift the front end, and spin the wheel, it is not there, so only there when under pressure.
-I cannot find anything that is rubbing.
-I re-torqued the nuts to 150 ft lb, no change.
-At low speeds, sounds almost like metal under stress.
-Steering angle has an effect – on center, almost no noise, right turn it gets a little louder, but turning to the left, it gets real loud – embarrassingly loud.
-Braking has no effect on it – other than slowing down with the speed decrease. I cannot feel anything through my brakes. Someone suggested brake wear indicators, but that would be consistent in any steering angle right? And I’m not sure if my Wilwoods have them. I have less than 20,000 on my Wilwoods, so they couldn’t be wearing out yet, and if it was them, wouldn’t they make a different noise when I brake?
I currently suspect my front bearings, but wouldn’t that make noise even when lifted?
