Gs430Ger Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Hi everyone, im facing a strange problem with my 01 GS430. First i noticed a strange squeaking noise from the front left Wheel when driving slow (approx. Until 10mph after that its gone) had that noise a few weeks after i bought the car. Already did the front brakes completly + ball joints (previous owner didnt replaced them). After i replaced the brakes, a crunching noise additional occured but only if i drive the car for a few km‘s. The brake disc isnt touching anything (what i first thought), thats the point that is driving me nuts as i now its coming from the left wheel bit not the disc as i thought. I dont now if its the wheel bearing maybe? hope you guys can help me, i have attached two videos where you can hear both noises.

RX400h Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Usually, a wheel bearing noise is most evident when the vehicle is rounding a corner, not when the vehicle is traveling in a straight line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gs430Ger Posted July 10, 2023 Author Share Posted July 10, 2023 Thats whats also confusing me. All of the noises doesnt really Sound like a Wheel bearing. Maybe the brake caliper is to tight, as the disc isnt touching the heat shield as thought at first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
