Good Afternoon all!

06 Mark LT 4x4 89k miles

I am hearing a weird sound while driving, that I can only hear with the window open.
Sounds like shh shh shh shh shh tempo goes up and down with speed.
I was thinking maybe a hub is going bad, since the brakes are about half life left still, but its not a grinding or scraping sound.
Tires have about 15k on them, didnt notice any play with the wheels up on jacks.
Anyone else experience this?

Thanks!

 

Could it be a brake pad just rubbing the pad surface on the rotor? Dust shield on the rotor? I know you said it's not a scraping sound, but these sometimes sound like brushing parts.

 

when its making the sound do you feel anything odd?

 

I was thinking the same thing, I guess I can rule it out with a frontend brake job. I does sound like brushing parts.

Thanks!

 

Don't feel anything odd with steering or pedals the sound just speeds up when accelerating.

 

Select 4H while driving straight down the road and it making the noise... see if it goes away.

 

Yeah it could be the IWE's trying to lock to the hubs

 

I'll try that this afternoon, Thanks for the tip!

 

I chuckle each time I read this thread title.
I keep wondering if the sound persists when he's driving from the back end. tee hee

By the shh shh shh description, I feel like it should be a brake pad touching the rotor.
