wheel question
i just purchased general grabber at2's and cragars for my 95 cherokee country. It just started to make a little noise on the left front wheel only, sounding like thin metal dragging or rubbing. It doesnt slow the vehicle or anything, and it almost sounds as if a rock kicked up into the chrome cap but im not sure. Anyone experience this issue before?

While you got the wheel off the ground, put a hand at 9 and 3 (imagine a clock) and see if you can wiggle it any. Also try at 6 and 12. There should be no slop. If you can, that's a bearing. If it's solid, it's something else.

shale and traction material
I have had something similar occur twice this season. I removed the wheel to find the culprit. I small piece of shale was lodged near my outside brake shoe on the driver side. I flicked it out with a narrow screwdriver. The sound varied as I drove... sometimes it disappeared... and then came back.. loud, soft...
This happened more often after I put my lift on and those black rockcrawler rims.
go figure.. good luck!
