Noise front right fender possible hub issue??
I've had an annoying brake squeak on the driver side for weeks and finally got to it . Turns out it just needed the brake hardware on the driver side . The body shop broke a retainer which cause it to walk and contact the rotor .... Not cool man!!
Anyway I jack up my truck (had to do this on the floor ) and remove the caliper install new hardware lube it and reassemble . So I torque the wheel and drive it around to make sure the brake noise is gone. However I got this noise on right side ... It's almost like something got stuck in the dust shield . It's a 4x4 so I'm fearing a hub.... I noticed that at idle or light throttle ( when vaccuum) is high no noise is heard , but once I give it throttle it really shows up . It's almost sounds like cards on a bicycle spokes ... Weird . I will drive it with the 4x4 activated to see if it changes and check the vacuum lines . I don't think it's the solenoid as it would affect both hubs.Any of you guys out there with this issue in the past, your help is appreciated . Thanks for your time . |
It's most likely the IWE.

Are you referring to the solenoid behind the battery or the actual 4x4 actuator ..... I plan on doing both but if I can avoid getting to axle out it would be nice.... But that would be too easy
As for your issue, it could be just a bad solenoid. But, if the solenoid is bad for long enough, it will take out one or both IWEs. The solenoid is about a 5 minute job. If you have the right tools and equipment, each IWE is about a 30-45 minute job. And yes, both can be done in your driveway. |
Done

If you use the search function here, you'll find tons of information on the IWE's and the systems that control them.
