Rob, assuming this is a 4X4? Sounds like a bearing. They can vibrate, snap, clunk, all kinds of terrible noises or vibrations. Axle u joints will also do this. Is it all wheel drive?
When it makes the noise and you able to do this try turning to the right and to the left. If the noise changes or goes away than your on the right track with a bad wheel bearing.
It sounds like the brake pads are metal to metal, when you turn the flexing of the wheel makes them touch the rotor and grind. This can rarely be caused by a badly worn wheel bearing as well, have both brakes and wheel bearing inspected.
Sounds like a belt is seperated in the front left tire...your local tire store can inspect this for free...your next check would be alignment...tough chuck holes can cause mis-alignment and unecessary tire wear...Hope this helps....(Front left wheel bearing does this too, but a slight grinding noise is also present)
If you hear the nosie when turning right or when turning left? Have you checked your front or back brake pad linings? It sounds like you have a bad bearing,cv axle or ujoint, . Where do you here the noise from? Front or back or left or right?
when turning left vehicle distributes weight to right front wheel bearing causing load. since u describe a noise in right front while driving straight i would suspect failed right front wheel bearing. see if your noise changes/goes away while turning right that should tell u 4 sure
what side the does the noise come from?if right side the right cv axle if left side then left cv axle has gone bad common problem on front wheel drive cars.to make sure look under car and look next to tire there should be a black rubber boot that is accordion shaped if torn there's your problem.
hi
sounds like a hub bearing
i would say right hub bearing
jack up one front wheel and leave the other on the ground start the vehicle and put in drive and spin the front tire about 60kmh
then do the same for the other wheel and replace the bad bearing
This sounds like a major problem. I had the same issue with a different truck. I will tell you in all honesty that the front-end is blown. The noise will continue to get worse. Soon it will occur driving in a straight line. The carrier bearings are symptomatic of failure. Its safe to drive on for a while, but in the long run you can eventually snap the front end. But before you go on rebuilding or selling the vehicle drain the fluid and replace with new and see if the problem goes away after driving 8-15 times in a flat parking lot doing figure-eights.
