Weird Noise!!!!!!
Hey guys my 1990 Bronco's front passenger wheel is making a squeaking noise. It is not constant it will make a noise at one complete turn. I put the truck on a lift and it won't make the noise. Only when it's on the ground. I put new brakes. Please help this is real annoying!

Not sure if yours is the same, but my 96 was making an annoying squeaking noise in the right front wheel. I finally had to take the tires off, put it on jackstands, and run it in 4x4 to find it (highly dangerous, and do only as a last resort, but I was going crazy). It turned out to be a seal on the backside of the rotor. It's below the ABS speed sensor ring. It seemed like it dried out a bit, and was squeaking against the axle. What I did was take the rotor off, and greased up the seal all around. Haven't heard it since.

When was the last time you greased your bearings? It never hurts to pop the hubs and grease or replace those babies. Don't forget to replace the grease seals if you do decide to change them out. Good Luck

My fronth wheels don't have ABS. Also when I put new brakes on they charges me to re pack the hubs a nd bearings. It never mad ethe noise before they put the brakes on. When I took it back to them for warranty work they refused to take respnsisbility. THey brushed me off!!
