front wheel noise
At 50,000 miles my 2004 Heitage F150 4x2, 4.2L started to have a "tinkling" noise coming from the front right wheel as best as I can tell. I hear it when driving over a bridge or next to cement barriers and the noise will "bounce" back.
Brake pads are not worn down, wheel bearing is okay; noise is more of a "light" metal sound..almost like a loose washer bouncing around.
I have had the wheel off several times and cannot find anything......bummer; and now it seems to have started on the left front wheel also. I've checked the wear strips on the brake pads and it all seems normal...obviously something is not normal, but I cannot find the source.
help!
thanks
