if it feels worse after moving the tires my guess would be your tires are cupped if you feel on your tire see if it feels choppy if it does its the tires this can also cause your noise when your driving get the car to make the noise the turn the wheel back and forth line your changing lanes see if the sound changes when you turn if it changes its likely its a wheel bearing if it does not change the sound its likely the tires.
It is most certainly three things:
1. The bumper/inner fender plastic is rubbing against the tire.
2. The wheel bearings. This is the bearing inside of the hub behind the wheel, and behind the rotor.
3. The rotor is unbalanced, and needs machining.
Jack up the vehicle and take the rim off with the included jack/bar set. And then making sure the rotor is cool, and then spin it by hand.
Two things to check for: 1. Does it "catch" when you spin the rotor? If so, the brake pads are touching your rotor, and you will need to get them machined. Typically, driving while holding the brakes will overheat your rotor, causing it to bend when rapidly cooled. I'm talking thousandths of an inch, or noticeable quarter inch in severe cases.
2. Or does it grind without catching, or make a metal-metal noise? If so, it's your bearings. If you feel safer in determining the possible issue, remove the brake pad from the suspected rotor,/wheel assembly, and then spin the rotor/hub.
Who replaces only pads and rotors on one wheel!?!?!?? YOU REPLACE THEM IN PAIRS. As for the rubbing/grinding you installed the pads wrong.
Hey guys I need help!!! I just changed my caliper and new pads with new rotor on my passenger front tire and it makes a rubbing noise or grinding when I'm driving when I come to a complete stop it goes away but the moment I start moving it comes back. The noise comes and goes. It's not always rubbing or grinding. Any ideas ??!!
