Help???? Sounds like a wheel bearing......
I heard it yesterday for the first time. It sounds like a grinding noise, very faint and only when I am at low speeds.....It is coming from the passenger side front wheel.....
I have heard what a shot wheel bearing sounds like, but mine isn't loud at all, and only happens under 60 k/mh.......
Any help?
Thanks
Jay

if it is a wheel bearing and it's on the passenger front then when u turn to the right it should get louder and when u turn to the left it should get quieter....

Could be a worn/dragging brake pad, some tires sound like worn wheel bearings (my old Pirelli P7000's sure did), disk brake shield touching the rotor, etc. Check the free options before getting a new wheel bearing.

Could also be lack of oil in your tranny or diff, or a CV joint going bad.

REALLY?!?!
Funny you say that, cause sometimes i notice like a TICKING, in my car, every 2 seconds or so, and i can feel the tick ONLY in the BRAKE pedal, oddly enough, dunno what it is, could that have something to do with the fluid as well as vibration!?

I think you are right, I wouldn't be suprised is it is the CV joint.....I don't think it is a wheel bearing anymore.....I think I am going to have it checked out.
Thanks

jack the wheel off the ground, then rock it up and down and side to side, if it has play then start looking for a bearing...
