As I am driving my Rav 4,2005 just baught from toyota dealer 3 weeks ago!!....I hear ,after 5 minutes of driving a sawing sound pulsing to the sound of the wheel rotation..coasting at slow speed its quite audable coming from right under the center of the car..as I slow to a stop the sound decreases.Once I start then I hear a clunkas I accelerate..could this be a bearing or universal joint problem..the dealer tried to fluff it off saying its nothing ..it will likely go away just as it started...Right!..I do not think so..any thoughts before I take this matter to a higher authority...Thanks!!
Sounds like you have a bad CV (constant velosity joint) This also may be the sound of a bad wheel bearing. If the vehicle has 75,000 miles or more this may be highly likely. You also may need a brake job. The sound you are describing sounds like it could be brakes grinding metal on metal.
Testimonial: "perfect diagnostic..you are good!!..the scraping was getting on my nerve ..went to garage and exactly what you wrote front pads.&.rear rt side bearing"
