I've got rhythm!

Yeah, I've got rhythm, but it depends on the speed I'm going. From stopped to about 25mph I get a squeak-squeak-squeak out of a front wheel that increases with speed. It does seem to go away as speed increases, but at low speed it kinda sounds like a steam engine...squeaking with a rumble grumble between squeaks.

So, is this wheel bearings or brake pads? If I go in to do either of those, is it worth just doing both bearings and pads?

Re: I've got rhythm!

kinda hard to tell from here but im betting its brakes.... but when you do brakes you should inspect and repack your wheel bearings as a matter of maintenance

Re: I've got rhythm!

Hey guys, thanks for the input. I paid closer attention to the noise this morning and it stays the same whether I'm on the brakes or not. I'll take a look at it this weekend and see what needs doing.

Thanks!

Check your dust shield, it might be bent and causing the squeak.
