zagarus Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I've had a somewhat scraping/binding/wheel bearing hum for a while now and it hasn't been until recently that it seems to have gotten louder. To me it sounded like bearings as the humming became louder around left hand corners. The Scraping binding noise only happened when I was off the accelerator and just coasting along. As soon as I accelerated and took load off the front wheels the sounds went away. So today I replaced both bearings and inspected everything and could not see what else could cause the noises i've been experiencing. Sadly it is still making a scraping/binding noise and I cannot for the life of me figure out what the hell it is. Could it be driveshaft related?

Turbone Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Have you checked to see if the axle nut is tight? We usually tighten them up to 150ft lbs + (I know the manual says 145ft lbs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
