I put on a new shock, new spring, and new tire but the noise is still there. Anyone know what else it might be? It sounds like something is rubbing, and I know its not the tire.

It is like a rubbing/squeaking sound.

Wheel bearing?

Did you check and make sure the brake is working properly? It could make that type of noise if the pad is engaged on the disk.

Wow, what are the chances that I am having a problem on the exact same corner.

Mine makes 2 short metallic rubbing noises per wheel revolution. I just got new wheel bearings and hubs for the rear too. Maybe it's rust or some foreign object stuck somewhere in there. I'll check it out soon.

This recently happened to our MY02. Had the same 2 short metallic rubbing sounds per revolution.

As per the repair invoice: "Performed bulletin on back of RO, removed axles and applied DC111 silicone compound to the outboard joint to reduce friction bewteen the joint & hub"

Not sure what TSB they are referring to

No prob, hope it helps.

warp disk? dust plate?

Yea I've thought of those too but I haven't checked for them yet. And also, coming from the exact same corner, I get this loud creaking/metal on metal grinding noise every time I change direction. If I turn left, I'll hear the creaking, but I won't hear it any more if I keep turning, but then when I turn right I hear the creak again. I don't hear it on speed bumps or when the corner compresses so that eliminates a lot of things. Has anybody heard of this problem? I've tried searching everywhere and all I come up with is the clicking TSB thing. By the way, I already got new wheel bearings and hubs for the rear. Everything is torqued down. And remember it's only when I change directions. I am so desperate to fix this problem, I will give $100 to whoever knows what this is and it fixes it after I try it. This problem has been annoying the hell out of me and it's driving me nuts trying to figure out what it is.

Sounds like the wheel bearing in both cases.

The TSB for ticking usually doesn't help. It also doesn't apply to a groaning/grinding/squeaking sound.
