Right front squeal
I had new front tires installed last year and ever since then I have encountered an issue with the front right side
After driving for a while and the vehicle is warmed up and standard braking while driving, when I slow down I get a high pitched squeal from the front right. It occurs even when not braking. Slowing down and when I turn the wheel left it makes the sound constantly. I had a shop pull the wheel off and he thought it might be a glazed disc brake. That to me does not make sense because it occurs when not braking as well. I might add I do not hear it when driving at highway speeds. In talking to another heavy duty mechanic he wonders if it could be a bearing
Lots of questions as I now have been told that if it is a bearing it is a 3 hour job to assess and repair AND the front brakes would have to be replaced. The front brakes do not pull and work great right now
I am looking for forum thoughts on the reason for the sound as well as thoughts on the hours etc told to me about the costs
Also IS this a safety issue? My intentions are to go on a 1500 mile trip and want to ensure safety is not a factor or I am not stranded roadside somewhere
Thoughts please... anyone had this occur??
