Front end problem

TheSmokinStroke2002 · Sep 17, 2011

okay guys so my front end is messed up here. i took off the tire and the brakes appeared to be alright, yet when i brake it pulls hard to the left and grinds like no tomorrow. i dont think its the hub assembly going out yet again, this one is only like 5 months old. any opinions? i need to check it more in depth. the thing im thinking is maybe the nuts on the studs of the hub assembly are getting loose or something because it grinds when i turn left too.

Why don't you tear into it and see if it could be your hub.

Sounds like hub or unit bearing.

thats what i was thinking, but it only grinds when hitting the brakes and pulls to the left, it grinds very bad when the wheel is to the left under braking, yet the rotor looks fine.. could that be a caliper issue?

Take a good drive & feel each rim with your hand afterwards. It will help pin point a hanging caliper. Slide pins could be hanging.

If your pulling to the left, only under braking, Your right caliper is hanging up. Grinding could be a number of things. Sounds like you have more than just one issue going on.
