Can anyone identify this rubbing noise?

Truck82 · Nov 14, 2024

I have this odd rubbing noise coming from the front of my truck that’s NOT the wheel bearings (at least I don’t think this is the problem because I have already greased and inspected the bearings/races/spindles and everything is ok)

It only happens when going about 5-10 mph and above.

Any help will be appreciated as I don’t want to drive it too much right now in case it will hurt something.

Here’s the link to the video…

Make sure the brake backing plates are not contacting the rotors anywhere. The very last second or 2 I think I'm hearing a backing plate rubbing a rotor.

My son's truck was making that noise. It was bad wheel bearings. You may have a bad wear pattern that's not readily visible.

I will check this out. Didn’t think to look at that when I did the wheels bearings.
Thanks

I was thinking of replacing these soon anyways. Can I buy a set that comes with everything or do I have to buy it all separately?

Separately. It's just 2 bearings, 2 bearing races and the inner seal per side. Go to your local auto part store and get quality bearings.
