Thread: Weird noise from wheel area

Guys I have a weird noise coming from 1 of my wheel areas, It sounds like the brake pad is worn to the replace indicator. It sounds screechy like that then the noise will go away for like half a mile then start to make noise again. Any ideas of what that could be?

check the indicater

check you brakes all around. they might need replacing. Hence, the noise.

i'm assuming he already checked the brakes since he said it sounds like the brake indicator.

Bent dust sheald? or wheel bearing?

Yes it's not the brake pads.

Is it possible to bend a wheel bearing? I did torque the axle nut to 160 ft pounds I never used to use a torque wrench. That's got to be it thats the only thing that I did different.

no, but did you roll the car at ALL without the axle nut tightened down? this can kill your wheel bearings almost instantly

No I did not I put jack stands under the car then torqued the axle nuts.

Well I guess I have to break the car down (again) and figure out what it is I just thought someone would know off hand.

do you know when the bearings may have been changed last?
