Hi guy's,
I tried searching this topic prior to posting, but all seem to address humming or groaning coming from the front end. I recently developed a squeal / grinding noise coming from the right front end. It is proportianate to speed and is there in 4WD or 2WD. Its still there when I apply the brakes. It's not a constant noise, it seems to squeak at the same spot when the wheel rotates through a full 360 degrees. I jacked up the front and spun the wheel and the pads do drag a little when the rotor turns. Its hard to simulate the same conditions when jacked. Could it be a possible front wheel bearing? I would appreciate any ideas and help from you guys out there.
