Only happens when i make a turn and can only hear it at low speeds. it's a grinding/metal on metal type squealing noise that in synced up with the rotation of the tires, one "squeak" per rotation... Any thoughts on where to start looking?

Hub bearings and ujoints would be the first place I'd look

I think it's probably a bearing, but check your brakes also and make sure nothing is dragging

wait! same thing happened to me. i have really cheap rotors, and what i found was a really bad casting imperfection was causing that noise. i took the rotor off, chucked it up on my lathe and saw it immediatley! I used a boring bar to clean it up, slapped her back on, and the noise was gone!

Make sure that plate/shield behind the rotor isn't contacting the rotor.

Yeah!! I'm definetly gonna have to check mine out because I have the same problem and always wondered what it was!

or take it off...

so assuming it's the hub how long can I let it go before I absolutely need to fix it

hankthetank

whoa, dont assume until you inspect it for yourself! take it apart and look!

KnoxJeep

I know... I cant get to it for a month or so (baby due SOON) lack of funds etc... just wondering, IF, that was it how urgent a repair it is?

hankthetank

if its what i told you above, you've got lotsa time...trust me you'll know when its a hub or bearing, it'll start howling really bad...
