wheel bearings maybe but what else?

Featured Replies

ive been have this problem with my right front wheel. when i turn left or depress the brake pedal i get this howling noise like a bad wheel bearing.

put the car up today. inspected the bearings they look well repacked and tried it again.

its not as bad now. but still making the same noise. i have new bearings and seals on order from courtesy nissan, but i was wondering could it be anything else??

the wheel is nice and tight i dont feel any play in it at all.

anyone have a clue.

thanks james

Wheel bearings aren't tight enough, rotor warped or has excessive runout, piston hanging up in caliper, tire rub, wheel contacting ball joint, could be a lot of things. :tapemouth

Guess it's a process of elimination to find the problem. :ermm:

Dust shield rubbing against the rotor is another thing it could be .
