Front differential

[MrPulldown]

There is a little metal tab on the side of the pad. as the pad wears down the tab will rub on the rotor making a bad wheel bearing like noise. This is the brake wear indicator. Makes contact at just past 50% wear.

The inside, hard to see pad, wears twice as fast as the outside pad.

Just finished changing the rear brakes no change in the noise. So I have one last option before the driveshaft comes out. Going to see if i can find time to get over to the tire shop and have them check the balancing of them to see if by some chance it’s tire noise. I just don’t buy that but trying everything right now

So i just went to the tire shop. And well the tires are cupping the front suspension is shot. So now off to replace shocks and springs I guess.

Thank goodness parts are so cheap on this thing. I’d go broke doing all this on the corvette.

Mbvette did you ever find the problem that was making the noise ? My 04 is making a similar noise but not all the time .

 

[Mbvette]

Wound up being a rear wheel bearing.

 

[Sasquach249]

was the noise all the time ?

 

[Mbvette]

not all the time but I wouldn’t go for a drive without hearing it at some point. Low speeds didn’t hear it much

Cool . I know my rear bearing is making a slight noise all the time so I'm gonna go there next . Thanks
