At a certain point of the tire rotation there was a noise and over the course of a week or so it got louder. The quicker the rotation the quicker the loud noise. We came to the conclusion that it was a wheel bearing. I went to my father n laws house and we proceeded to tackle this problem. We pulled the hub out and there was one half of the race on there and about 1/4 of the end of it was chipped off. Upon further inspection of this job we decided that we would take it to a shop and let them deal with it so they can press the wheel bearing on and all that stuff. I put a little more grease in there until i could get it to the shop later that week. After we put everything back together the wheel bearing was quiet. No more noises period. I still took it to the shop that friday and let them put the new wheel bearing in there.
Now there is a high pitch squeeling sound that comes from that same side once i reach 15-17 mph and continues until I stop the car no matter how fast i go. I took it back to the shop the next day and they reinspected everything to make sure the dust shield wasnt touching and everything was fine they said. They suggested to keep riding it like it is and see if it quits. Now 2 weeks later it still does it.
Any idea what this could be?
Its is embarrassing more than anything. I feel like people within 100yrds can hear it. Probably not but i know that people on the sidewalk can. Its driving me nuts.
