Sound From Wheel

[stil6421]

There is a wierd sound generated by my passenger rear wheel. It is a rubbing sound that occurs every wheel rotation. I have checked the tire and clearances, so I know it isn't anything that simple. Also, there isn't any noticable physical clue, so I don't think it has anything to do with the brakes. My original thought was wheel bearing. What do you all think?

Thanks

it could either be a bent rim, a bubble in the tire... the tire could be outta balance... but if its not 1 of those.. then i don't know what the problem is!

Not to be rude, but I clearly said I checked the tire. Also, those problems create a vibration or something you can feel. Which I said there is nothing like that.

maybe u have a warped disc or maybe your emergency brake is not fully releasing thats the only thing i could think of.

Is it a metallic rubbing sound?? This could be worn brake pads cutting into the rotor....

check your wheel bearing as well... trust me you do NOT want one to go bad...

it sounds like a wheel bearing.


triggrhaapi, you sound like you have a bad wheel bearing story.
