so i was driving around before and i noticed a very strange sound that almost sounded like something was rubbing up against the front tire. i checked all around the tire but i couldnt find anything that could possibly rub. i pretty sure its not anything with the engine or transmission because it only makes the noise when the wheels are spinning, not when reving in neutral. anyone have any ideas?

 

Halfshafts.

 

Also check inside for loose abs sensor wire inside the wheel. The clip that holds the wire has been known to break or come loose

 

Traction control.

 

called up chevy and they think its the wheel bearings so im gunna take it in and see if they can fix it

 

Yea, traction control. Shut it off and try to drive.

 

I was thinking hub assembly, i.e., wheel bearings.

 

This. If you don't know what failing wheel bearings sound like it can be thought to be rubbing. And they're common to fail on these cars. I had a bad RH Front wheel bearing when I traded mine in.

 

My guess is a wheel bearing too.

My Monte had a similar sound when the wheel bearings first started to go.... then it got louder and louder

 

What's the mileage on the car?

 

Yup time for new hubs if you can so both will eliminate problems I'n the long run

 

just under 50k i scheduled the service for friday, till then i just try not to drive anywhere.

 

traction control...!
