so i got this noise comeing from my front left wheel its kind of a grinding/screeching noise it does it at around 40-55mph the most and slightly and evry now and again at low speeds and if at kinda jerk the steering at 40-55 it gets louder same as when goin low speeds
anyone have any ideas what it could be

maxxman04

brakes. or possibly bearings goin out on that side.

2000sdime

changed the brakes and rotors

2000sdime

i was afraid of it being the bearing
any other possible things you think it could be just incase that dont fix it

maxxman04

double check to see if the caliper isn't sticking at all, otherwise i'd look at wheel bearings.

maxxman04

that would be the only things to make that kind of sound in that area. is it on the s10? front wheel bearings should be pretty easy, inexpensive.

2000sdime

no its on my fullsize k1500 4X4 bearing is about $282+tax and from what i hear they're a pain in the *** to change rumors of breaking sockets


and if the caliper was stickin wouldnt it pull a lil bit to the left

maxxman04

ahh, yeah, it CAN be a pain on that rig. gotta buy the whole bearing/hub assembly, then get the cv axle back through it, which is the hardest part. but, a little penetrating oil applied few different times a day or two before you do the work. the socket breaking is from the axle nut, which from what i've seen and heard, is because the little cotter pin isn't gettin pulled out, or there's a small piece left in that isn't seen. patience, and the right way will pay off.

maxxman04

oh, and as far as the caliper causing it to pull, not necessarily. the caliper only needs to stick enough to cause the noise, which may not be much. combined with all the frontend parts and 4wd, you may not feel it. take a look at the rotor and pads to make sure, look for purple shaded streaks/burns, worn pads already.

aslo thought it might be my cv axel aswell
so im gonna start with the most inexpensive parts and work my way up
thanks for the help i'll let you know what fixed it
