Hello fellow G35ers,

You've all been very helpful in the past and I've been having this annoying issue when driving. I keep hearing this sound and I'm not sure if it has something to do with a bad wheel bearing or if its something coming from the breaks or maybe something else.

It's coming from the passengers side and from the front from what it seems like. I have checked the clips and things around the brakes and looked under the car but can't come to figure out what is causing this.

I have attached this video I uploaded. I know the sound might be a little slow but it sounds like a clicking/humming sound from the passengers side. Any help would be very very appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

To be honest I don't hear anything besides what sounds like the turn signal at the end and some road noise.

 

Sorry about the video I posted yesterday. I tried to get the sound but didn't work :/

Here is a video I just took. I jacked up the passengers side front and shot a quick video of the sound. Hopefully this might make it a little easier to see and hear. Thanks again.

Is your brake rotor splash shield rubbing against the rotor? It sounds like there it is something rubbing against it.

It also could be your wheel bearings.

 

I wish I could spin my front wheels that fast.

This is a RWD car right? So no front drivetrain?

You might have to pull the wheel off and poke around. Really the only way to see where it's coming from. It could be the dust shield rubbing, or it could be wheel bearing.

When I diagnosed my front end noise, I had to pull the rotor off and spin the bearing. Only then I could feel the roughness.

Of course your sound doesn't sound like a wheel bearing to me. Those usually sound like a deeper whirring sound.

 

Are you sure it's not just the brake pad wear indicators starting to screech?

 

Alright guys,

I looked at all of what you thought may have been the problem. From the dust shield rubbing to the brake pad indicators. I was installing new brake pads on the rear yesterday and decided to go ahead and open up the front to find out where this clicking noise was coming from. I shot another video showing the rotor is clear of the caliper and when I went to the back side to see the bearing it seems to be out of place. Just wanted to make sure im not losing my mind. Thank you guys for all your help and input. Also does anyone remember who took Phil's place at Grubbs? Wanted to call over there and order a new bearing.

Just to be absolutely conclusive, you could pull the rotor off to be sure there's no pebble or debris between the rotor and the tin shield in the back. Besides that though, it pretty much concludes it is the bearing.

Phil was replaced by RIch, and all his postings under his old screen name were changed to the new name: "Rich@GRUBBS". From what I've seen, he's not quite as responsive as Phil was, but I haven't heard any complaints per se.
