bearing noise

[yves]

lately i get a noise from the front wheels when i push the brakes hard, the brake pads are almost gone, but have still enough to break, i suspect some problem with the wheel bearings , anyone else having this problem ?

Probably just your wear indicator tabs hitting the rotors telling you it's time for new pads. I'd be really, no REALY surprised if both front wheel bearings were going out.

Take a look at the brake rotors and see if you have any gouging happening. I would get the pads replaced (since you need to anyways) and see if your noise goes away, if it does, then you found your problem. You can contact one of our vendors for your specific needs:

X-metal - Aftermarket EBC Green Pads
Avondale - Factory Mopar pads

Your bearings are a sealed unit , you should hav no problems out of thm till at least 60,000 miles if thn.

More than likely your pads are grinding into the rotor, causing a bearing like noise.

I would take them immediatly and have them replaced, if your that low you could cause more damage and possibly need rotors if you keep running it the way it is.

I just wonder why someone would not replace the pads if they knew they they were significantly worn....? This is a minor hit, but a major problem if you wait too long...

If it is not the pads check the outside edges of the front tires for wear. Run your hand along the tread and if you feel ridges on the edges the tires they are making the noise under hard braking.

Thanks! We love you and we know you drive like the rest of us...so brakes are vital to all of us...I remember a thread where someone was thinking about doing away with the back brakes to fit slicks...the uproar was deafening...
