Grinding Noise From Left/front Wheel Assembly......

[alexhr00]

I went for a trip not too long ago and noticed my left/front wheel assembly making a intermittent grinding noise with or without the brakes being applied. At first it was hard to hear but now is getting worse (even my wife can hear it, that's bad enough). Wondering if you gentlemen have hear of this, with it being a 4x4 is kinda hard to tell with all the other extra parts, maybe a bad wheel bearing???? thanks in advance!!!

Get it fixed soon, I had a friend loose the entire front tire

 

I don't believe the front hub assembly is all that expensive either.

check the hub assembly for play (try shaking the tire with it jacked in the air and holding it at the 2 and 8 o'clock positions).

 

Pull off the tire and check the pads/rotors for proper wear.

Thanks, will do before a trip to the dealer!!! Then will see what new excuse they have this time, same thing every time!!! By the way what is the MM act??

Better to be safe than sorry. What I stated did happen but is the worse case.

Protects owners from being denied warranty for installing aftermarket parts unless the dealer can prove that the aftermarket part caused the failure.

 

Don't see how that would apply here though... not to mention its usually a dead end and cheaper/easier just to pay to replace the part(s) rather than pay for court fee's
