Odd noise coming from Front Passenger Side Wheel
|
Can't Post
|
|
There is a "growling" noise coming from the front passenger wheel when braking. The noise doesn't start until the speed reaches somewhere between 10-15 mph and only occurs while braking. The noise continues until I come to a complete stop with it becoming louder the slower I'm moving. It's not a loud noise, but is noticeable and I can feel a slight vibration in the brake pedal when it occurs. Sometimes the noise and vibration are there and sometimes they aren't. I recently had new rotors and brakes installed on my PT because I assumed that was where the noise was coming from. I didn't hear the noise for 1-2 weeks, but it has returned. I've read some other posts and I've seen bearings mentioned as a possible cause for the noise. I know describing a noise using words isn't always an easy thing, one man's "growling" is another man's "deep whine". Any suggestions/info/relaying of similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 Hello and welcome to the PTCC.What you are describing is exactly what was happening with Gin's Woodra and it was the front wheel bearings.That would be the logical place to start looking.God Bless....Mike

It turned to be a ball joint. No noise, no vibration, lots of smiles.
