hey guys,

i have a problem with my MY2000 which hit 60k miles. in my passenger rear wheel makes a groaning (metal scraping metal in a rotational fashion) sound that corresponds with the speed of the car. when i take a right turn the groaning stops but, if i go straight or left the sounds persists.

I bought new tires and have balanced them but, the sound is still there.

I did a search on s2ki and found the main problem is the bearing/hub combo or axle nut. i haven't read anything about the sound going away when a making a turn though. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ben

 

Can you post a vid so we can hear the sound?

It could be a warped rotor, or brake dust shield that is bent, or the bearing or your cat is punishing you for putting socks on it's feet.

 

alright let me go outside and record this. i will post on youtube...

at cat socks.
