Default Weird noise while turning left



The sound can be heard in the video above.


I have changed both rotors recently and all breaks. The noise started today and I can't tell what it is .


Can someone help me out with this?


2005 king Ranch 2wd. Noise is from passenger front and only while turning left.

Hard to tell from my phone. When you changed the rotors, did you pack the bearing well, and torque the spindle nut to 295 (if I remember correctly)? Also, check your brake shield. If had a few over the years bend and touch the rotors making odd noises. Have you checked your suspension components?

It sounds like it's echoing from inside your center cap IMO

you should try jacking up that side and turning the wheel by hand and that might help you pinpoint the problem because it sounds like something is in a bind

I only have a 150lb torque wrench so I tighten It a bit more after the 150lb mark.


I will check the suspension and brake shield.


I did take off the caliper and pads and saw nothing unusual.


I will update soon.

took off wheel and brake caliper and nothing looks to be rubbing.




Can it be a balljoint or control arm problem? How can I check if these are ok?

Checked the ball joints and the upper one has a tear in the rubber and the bottom on has a small tear
