Important!: Front end clunk/ticking

[GingerCrew]

So this carp started yesterday, a clunking or ticking type sound when I get up to about 10 mph and gets faster as my speed increases but I can't hear it after 40 or so my guess is because of the road noise or tire noise. What could this be, I'm thinking maybe a bad hub bearing or something

Checked all your bolts/nuts again after suspension work? Could very well be a hub. My brake pads also were kinda loose in the sliders and made some seriously annoying noises.

I'll have to get under there and start taking a closer look at things

my guess that the dust sheild is rubbing the rotor.

Check the brake pads while you're back there. Mine had the same thing 2 weeks ago. We thought it was the dust shield so we didn't check it right away. Noise got worse and worse, then horrible. Found the one brake pad was sticking so it wore out stupid fast

I trimmed my dust sheilds. Idr why though.

 

[GingerCrew]

Dust shield isn't rubbing rotor, everything is tight, but I noticed that when I reverse it sounds like the rotor or something is grinding slightly

Pads?? Or check the two floater pins on the caliper housing. Make sure they're free floating and not tight or stuck

I'm starting to think that my rotors are just warped, cannot happen from having a really shitty alignment and camber?

And the sound goes away when I barely touch the brakes

then its in your brakes or the wheel bearings.

Jack up truck, check hub bearings and tie-rods etc.

Found my problem, took off passenger wheel to find out that my slider pin bolts backed all the way out, bottom one fell out completely, the only thing keeping the top one in was the brake line, the grinding was the bottom of the caliper grinding the inside of the wheel, luckily that top bolt didn't come out, the whole calipers would have been trashed and the brake lines would have been ripped out. Replaced missing bolt and put everything back together, back to new
