I'm getting a grinding noise as I drive. Turn the steering wheel makes it go until it's back to straight. Any ideas?

 

hub bearing could be shot.

 

x2 on wheel bearing, jack the front up, and push at 12' clock and pull at 6, on the tire, let us know if you have any movement, could be balljoints, tie rod, etc. even struts if they're bad enough

 

i have the same noise...i tried lifting the front end and moving the tires and they are tight...mine also goes away when i turn to the right. it is there when the wheels are forward and turned to the right.

 

are u running 4 wheel drive on dry pavement?

 

Wheel bearing hub...... mine was making a loud road noise, jacked up the front end and not much movement at all but I have an uncle that is a mechanic and he said he's positive that if I change the hub my noise will disappear. I went to the salvage yard to pick one up (lot cheaper than $150 if its not the problem) and changed it and guess what.......

 

thanks for the information man...i greased every fitting and it is still there. it really sounds like something is rubbing but nothing obviously is. i will change the hub and give an update if it fixed it.

 

would a hub bearing make a thump* thump* thump* noise?. mine doesnt make a constant roar like a bearing,but i can hear a thump sound about everytime the wheel makes a revolution.and gets worse when turning

 

yeah also a grinding noise if its bad enough.

 

oh joy!
