I have the same problem with my Acheiva as well. It seems that the condensor for the ac has a shield that tends to rub against the pulley where it runs along the belt.
No. Brake rotors don't have bearings, the wheel hub does.
It depends on where the grinding noise is coming from. Most of the time the grinding is coming from the brakes and the brake pads need to be replaced. If they've been grinding for a while, the rotors will need to be resurfaced or replaced. Other possibilities for grinding are worn axle bearings, or a problem with the clutch. If the clutch goes out, there will be a grinding noise when you try to shift gears.
In the brake rotors.
No. The bearings are not that type.No. The bearings are not that type.
Depending on the what type of car or truck could be the brakes or rotors low brake fluid, or the boot is open and its gone dry, wheel bearings. hope this helps
Certainly not. 2nd answer: If metal-to-metal grinding has been heard prior to the brake shoe change, slap your calipers on those rotors before deciding to have them turned.
You possibly have warped brake rotors on the front. Or Bad Wheel Bearings.
Type your answer here... because your brake pads are grinding into your rotors --change your brake pads and most likely your rotors too
Brake rotor removal varies on different vehicle. You must first remove the caliper. Some brake rotors simply come off after this. Some rotors are fastened to the hub by screws. Some rotors are bolted to the hub, and the wheel bearings must be removed.
If they are grinding, chances are the rotors are shot too. I just bought rotors and pads. $400.00 Canadian. Push out the retainers, top, bottom, pull off pads. Remover rotors. Your new rotors should come with bearing races already installed, there should be in front and one in behind. It would be advisable at this time to clean and repack your bearings, (with bearing grease!) install the new rotors and old bearings. If your not sure if your bearings are worn or not, you SHOULD at this time have someone look at them or just replace them. cause you have them out anyway AND it would suck to have to spend more money for new rotors if the bearings went. you will need a significant amount pressure to close the brake pistons enough to get your new pads back on the truck. once that is done. put the retainers back in and pump your brakes till you feel adequate pressure and pedal height. Then slowly go for a test drive to make sure they work.
I would suspect your brake pads are worn out. The grinding you are hearing is the destruction of your rotors taking place. It is also possible that you may have a defective wheel bearing. Inspect your brake system.
Maybe it's coming from the rear brakes.
