Okay so I recently installed a lift on my truck and love the way it looks but now there is a noise coming from my front wheel(s). I'm pretty sure its only on the passenger side. It sounds like a bag of coins is in my wheel. I hear it the most when there is something the noise can bounce off of and it is less audible at higher speeds. It sounds like "ching, ching, ching." I'm not sure if it is the bearings gone bad, something rubbing against the wheel, or the rotor. Any help with the problem would be much appreciated.


Also can I mount a 265/75r16 on a 16x10 wheel or is the tire too narrow for that width of rim?

 

I personally don't think its a wheel bearing because if it was a wheel bearing it would be a lower pitch sound and it wouldn't sound like a bag of coins. does it make this sound when you back up to or just when you drive forward.

 

I don't know about reverse. I was poking around behind the wheel and I thought that it might be the abs sensor hitting the circular thing with the ridges on the back of the rotor. I'm not sure about this though.

 

Did you ever find out what it was? I just lifted my 04 and have the same thing. I think it's the pads rubbing the rotor where I had to use channellocks to push the brake pad back in to fit over the rotor, there's a couple small nicks in the pad. I was hoping it would wear down within a few miles, but so far it hasn't.
