Okay,
Getting a squeal, (loud), from left front wheel. This is the problem; first; the noise doesn't start until car is driven a few miles, second; a squeal isn't really the sound you hear when bearing are gone. Third; I jacked up the front end and there is NO movement at all with my hands at the 6 and 12 o'clock position on wheel! So all signs point to problem NOT being the bearings/ hub!
Now I haven't taken tire off yet to inspect anything else but the brake pads and rotors are new!
I am really at a loss, all I can figure is problem with bearings is just starting so no outward signs yet, or maybe axle bearing? (a guess)
One more thing; legend I spin the wheel forward or backward, (But especially when I spin it backward) and stop wheel very fast I get a clicking sound. Not a good sound!
Any help is appreciated,
Thank you
