SteveyJ 10 Posted July 18, 2014 Advice please people. Noticed this week that my front drivers side wheel makes a grinding noise on revolutions (not so much on turns, just turning), so today I took it apart looked at the pads, and they had all even wear, caliper is moving back and forth, discs are clean, so couldn't see a problem that would cause that to bind, so while apart thought I would wobble the hub and got no movement, so thought not the bearing, and then turned the hub by hand and when it gets to a certain point on every turn it increases its resistance. What do you think it could be, I would of thought bearing but its not wobbling and not juddering under turning, or braking. Cheers Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
somersetdub 0 Posted July 18, 2014 I have had this before on mine and it ended up being the cv joint (outer)... Although mine was making more of a creaking than a grinding! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cinadine 10 Posted July 18, 2014 could possibly be wheel speed disk catching the sensor, if you rotate the whole thing and see if its warped any. got the same problem on mine sounds like something catching once every revolution. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting, yeah doesn't creak. Its as if something is pinching the hub like brakes, but obviously had them off??!!?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah thats like mine, fault occurs exactly the same point on every revolution - what is the wheel speed disk?? and catching what the ABS sensor?? I need to find a picture of this!!

seanl82 23 Posted July 18, 2014 Check the splash shield too. A friend of mine cough......Vectra was doing it last week, so I chucked it up on the ramp, and that was the cause. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
somersetdub 0 Posted July 18, 2014 It does still sound very much like the issue I had. It drove me mad for a while, because it wasn't making the typical noise a cv joint makes when on its way out and there were no visible signs of anything rubbing or catching. But it did happen at the same point every revolution and increased resistance slightly as it made the noise. If you can't see any other visible signs of anything wrong, it might be worth a try. Obviously check the splash shield for rubbing first as Sean said and also the abs sensor as cinadine said. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
