Ok ik now this isn't for my LS1 car but the setup is the same and it's driving me carzy...Somebody please read some of this and give your thoughts of what going on here....
94 corvette coupe STD
Man..This has been a nightmare...Ok..I replaced My front 2 wheel bearings with some cheap a1 wheel hubs off from ebay (sorry didn't feel like paying $600 a hub a little ridiculous if you ask me) 4 new oem cross drilled rotors and semi-metalialic pads...Right after I had a constant squeak/ loud squeal..So I replaced the all four pads with ceramic aekebono pads....The noise went away untill the car/ the wheels heated up..Then the nosie comes back...I've done everything I can think of...I've taken the cailpers aprt and luped all the hardware..checked all the back plates, I put on GM rotors on the front last week to see if the would help help..(NOPE)...I've taken it too 2 different brake shops and both brake shps are telling me me my brakes are fine......SO..This leads me to believe a have a bad bearing inside the wheel hub even though there is no play in the wheel....BUT the noise does go away if you turn the wheel hard to the left...MAYBE IT JUST DIDN"T GET PACKED RIGHT?? This has been going on for about 2 months now and i'm going crazy....I'm tired of working on my brakes...They work fine..BTW..THE NOISE GOES AWAY WHEN YOU HIT THE BRAKES..PLEASE IF ANYONE KNOWS ANYTHING ON THIS SUBJECT PLEASE CHIME IN.. But to save you some time it's not a rock wedge in somehere, i've checked, it's not because of anti-squel, or cheap brake parts, or not having them looked at by more then one pro...or time to seat or bed in...I've tried it it all..lol..This sucks
BTW-The noise is coming from the drivers side front wheel..Only happens after 15 minutes of driving after it heats up..Thanks
