07' Tahoe Grinding Noise

[huntingbuddy]

I have a 07' Tahoe Z71 that has a grinding noise that sounds like it is coming from the front drivers side wheel. It is noticeable from 10-35 mph but goes away when going faster, it also seems to happen on left turns as well. I replaced the brakes last summer and I also replaced the front upper control arms on both sides (needed to pass safety inspection) I am thinking it might be a wheel bearing but I would like some more input. Also, after I go past 40 for a little bit of time then slow down below 40 it doesn't return until I am stopped and then it seems to return for a couple second then disappears. Any ideas? Thanks.


edit: I got it jacked up, there is no play in the tire. So I took it off along with the brakes, when I spin the rotor it sounds like something is jingling inside the bearing, so I am assuming the bearing or the hub assembly is bad.

Make sure it's not a half shaft/axle (assuming it's a 4x4). Can't see the damage in the "tulip" joint, but you should be able to hear it. Otherwise it sounds like a bearing. Though I am not familiar with them yet on these trucks - whether they are serviceable or non serviceable types. But you should be able to get some play with wheel off the ground if it's bearings.

Check your hub bearing and then the caring bearings are the next suspect. These trucks are famous for them. But don't wait or yiu can grenade your front differential which is big money and alot of time to fix.
That's if you do it yourself

My Denali started the exact same thing today. Did you find out what was wrong with yours?
