Noice while reversing

Spec.B_Master_06' · 04-04-2012, 12:13 PM

Hey all, me again with questions.

So when i hit the gas in reverse on a small incline leaving work i hear a (dont want to say grinding noice, but a friction noice) coming from the passenger front wheel. Could this be something to to with the bearings, or the transmission? Help? Dookie?

Wouldn't say transmission, since you pointed it out to the Right side wheel area. If it was the bearings they would make a squealing type sound. My guess is to inspect you brakes, if reversing, a pad could be rubbing causing a slight friction noise.

Is the sound consistence while going in reverse? Does it make any noise going forward?

no noise while going forward and it is just when i start going into reverse. i will look into the brake pads tomorrrow. It feels like it is sluggish or catching. maybe a clicking? Also, i have been hearing a high pitched squeel not loud, but noticeable. Ideas with that as well?

Hi pitch squeal would lead more toward the wheel bearings. A clicking sound would lead more to the CV joint. But first I would check your brakes, pull out the Slide Pins and make sure they move in/out freely. If one of the pins are stuck, this would cause part of the pad to rub against the rotor.

I would also suggest wheel bearings, I've had these go out on several cars I've owned. I was able to pick up a Timken one for $89 on Amazon for the front. Wheel bearings make all sorts of noises, its never the same from one car to the next.
