So here it is, Commuting to work headed down the on ramp merging on the interstate and accelerating then./.... red tail lights every where. Swerved right clipped the light pole base on drivers front tire where the rim/wheel meets the tire. Rim is trashed. put on spare drives straight, and now I hear the Rub Rub Rub Rub. Took it to Gemini Goodyear for new tire as I was due. They inspected breaks, alignment New rim purchased new tires all around. They said no damage was noticed. Rub rub rub can still be herd however when I apply the break that sound is gone. Any ideas?

Winter's here.

Bent rotor possibly or a shot bearing? Does the truck shudder under braking? I am assuming there is nothing out of the ordinary looking that could be rubbing on the tire?

 

no shudder at low or high speed, sound does no amplify nor change pitch around corners. Rotor brushing the caliper ??

 

Bent rotor was the offender.
