Hey Guys,
Got this metallic scrapping noise coming from my front drivers wheel, only started happening after a recent trip over to Fraser Island last week.
Things to note:
It happens in 2H,4H and 4L
When I was on the island it was happening all the time on and off constantly, now is only happens after a sharp hard left turn or at high speed, it is becoming increasingly harder to hear. Ie very difficult to hear in the cabin at 80kph+ but if you wind the window down you can just hear it over the wind noise. Under 60kph it seems to disappear. Where as before on the island it was making a scraping noise at any speed and was really noticeable at slow speeds on the sand tracks
Only seems to happen when wheels are moving (it sounds like a collapsing bearing but doesn't matter how much you rev the engine in neutral it doesnt make a noise, only happens when car is in motion)
I have just recently replaced the idler and aircon pulley bearings so that counts those out
Things I have looked at
Took the wheel bearing out, seal is fine, heaps of grease, can spin the wheel fine there is no axial end play at all with the wheel on
Took the calliper off and pushed the pistons back with a G clamp and then got someone to push the brake pedal in and they move freely so they don't appear to be seized.
Only thing I did pre-island trip was put my ironman bashplates on, but they have been on before with no problems to speak of.
Is there anything else I should be checking? I have also checked the obvious things like there is no stone in the between the backing plate and the rotor and the backing plate isn't bent causing it to scrap on the rotor. I have run out of ideas as to what it could be.
