Subject: weird noise from left wheel
IP: Logged

Message:
ok now it happens to me too,

during the last weeks of december and january I heard sometimes a weird noise from my left front tire, during left turns and going straight, only at ow speed (5 - 10mph). Now after my truck was parked for a week, because of vacation, this noise is totally gone.

my truck:

1997 2WD Dakota Sport
140.000 Milage
new tires
new front brakes

possible problem, what I can think about:

bearings?

what can it be and how is it to fix/cost? And what happens if I ignore this, cause I'm kinda broke right now. I also just passed the smogtest and they didn't notice anything special.

to check your front left wheel bearing, you need to take a hard right turn to put more weight on the left wheel. if its worn out it will make a growling sound.

thx,

but it was something else, I went to my local garage to have a look at this and it turned out that there were some gravel and my left brake disc...

now its all ok again, so I got lucky this time.
