Car Forum / Subaru Cars / June 200499 OBW - Front End Question
Hello, I am hearing what sounds like a screeching or scrapping from the front end of the car .sounds like driver side wheel. The pitch of the noise changes based on speed. I also hear creeking or scraping like sounds coming from the same area when turning. I dont know if the Subaru has CV joints or Universal joints or if the rotor could be warped . .I know there is power steering fluid and all the belts are fine . .it isn't a belt noise. Can someone offer me some advice on tracking down what the problem may be? 136k miles on a 1999 OBW. Thanks for your time. Phil Could it be the brake warning noise makers?? There is a small metal piece that scrapes the rotor when the pads need replacing. ed > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Phil That's what I was thinking, except he didn't say that it occurs when he steps on the brake. ===================================================== >Could it be the brake warning noise makers??

Hard to diagnose without seeing it, but you can check wheel bearings as well. > thanks for the reply . .don't think it is brakes as the sound occurs with no > brakes applied . .a screeching, whinning . .hard to explain. The brake warning indicators should make noise even when the brakes are NOT applied. check em and be sure thanks for the reply . .I don't believe it is the brakes . .hard to explain . .I am thinking CV but hoping someone here has had experiences like what I am trying to explain. phil > Could it be the brake warning noise makers??
