Hey guys, I just replaced the clutch in my car and now I have a slight rubbing/grinding sound coming from the front passenger wheel. I have checked the wheel out for play and there is no play up,down, or side to side. The tie rod ends are good, the balljoint is good and since there is no play whatsoever I'm assuming the wheel bearing is good. I also pulled the axle back out from the hub and reinserted it just to be sure it was seated well. And the axle nut is good and tight with the washer. I'm out of ideas.
What happens is when I'm going say 35-40 and above and then let off the gas, there is a very slight grind noise coming from the wheel. Sort of like something is rubbing against the rotor or the like. But the noise is only when I let off the gas and am decelerating. And the brakes make no difference either. It will still make the noise whether I hit the brakes or not.
Then yesterday I was on the interstate and let off the gas going about 65 and all of a sudden the wheel felt like it just started bouncing up and down very violently. I mean very violently, I thought it was just going to fall off. I pull off to the side of the road and inspect everything and everything I can see looks fine. I start going again and its fine. Other than the noise when I let off the gas. Does anyone have a clue what could be causing this?
