Frankzao Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 There's a crunch noise coming from my drivers side front tire that gets louder and louder as the car is driven....... Well I drove it around till the noise was real loud, then found a hill and let the car coast....noise happened with and without front brakes engaged. Used E brake to slow down and again no change. Took it home and the rim is super hot in the center....hotter than the caliper....my theory? Bearings.....the bearings are shot.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Usually they go over time, and rim wouldn't be hot, unless its super super shot, in which case you would notice a huge pull. Sure the caliper is still in place and not dragging? I'd jack it up and see if you can spin it by hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troutman Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I didn't know an axle could make such a noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Have you removed wheel and tried to spin it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troutman Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 I understand the Good Zao has resolved it, though he will clarify in good time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankzao Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 I raised the wheel and spun it. checked the calipers and brakes...... turns out it was the passenger side axle was out; you could move it up and down on the inner joint about half an inch also, the rim was hot was the drivers side rim was loose.......I had the tire fixed at a shop a few days earlier for a leak and I guess it didn't get seated right..... All is now well with the MillY!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
