  • bad brakes or something more???

    This could be brakes but not to sure, I noticed a shushing sound coming from my passenger side wheel. I’m going to check and most likely replace the brakes but I was wondering if it could possibly be a bad wheel barring and how hard it would be to replace it….. Are they pressed in or can I get to it with no problem??

      does the noise happen all of the time, or only when you hit your brakes?

          its like in the front passanger side its not a squeeling sound just like a swuching sound but its constant. I notice it when I'm close to curbs and all. it's real faint but you can hear it.

            hmm, does it make a noise, then go away, and make it again, like every wheel rotation? if you know what i mean?

                take off the wheel and try rotating the hub and see if it doesn't feel smooth. If it's the wheel hub, no pressing is required, just a few bolts and some strong arming.
