Hey guys, just recently I replaced a bad wheel bearing in the front. I thought that it had been the cause of a grinding noise I've been getting after I let off the gas and go through corners, but since replacing the wheel bearings the noise persists. I also replaced the brake lines with stainless ones and reshimmed all the brackets so they're all in their place again.. Its not really hard grinding more like metal scraping other metal. Any ideas as to what it could be are appreciated.

Jack that side up and spin the tire by hand. That's how I diagnosed my noise, CV shaft dust shield contacting the steering knuckle.

Please keep us posted.
I too have a grinding, drone sound, vibration.
Mine is when the steering wheel is slightly turned to the right...think correcting for the crown of the freeway....at speed(60+ mph).
About ready to replace bearings and cv's. And while I am in there may as well do the 5th gen brake mod/upgrade.

Found my answer to it I think.. the cv I bought from Oreillys has a built in knuckle seal so that seal contacted the new knuckle seal I had to put in

That's why you don't buy O'Reilly's CVs. OEM only on stuff like that.
 
Plan A

Thought on this plan..
NEW Napa cv's, hoping that my current cv's are 2007 OEM.
Re-boot / grease current cv's, if they are, in fact, 2007OEM.

Could be a wheel bearing or driver's side needle bearing.
Does your sound go away when engaging 4wd?

Bad bearing or Diff noise? Please help!!! - Page 2 - Toyota 120 Platforms Forum
