Noise Question

[Diceman]

Driver side front is squeaking pretty good. I checked the lug nuts, they are all good. When I turn right the squeaking stops, but returns when I am going straight. Also at slower speed (where you can hear better) there is a grind up there coming from the same area. CV joint? Any of you have an idea what it could be. She is a 04 with 64k miles.

Jack that side of the truck up and wiggle the wheel top and bottom , roll it around by hand. Stick your head right in there by the back side of the wheel , you prolly will be able to pin point the noise. Sounds like a wheel bearing if you hear it grinding. Good luck

you need brakes

Looks like it is the Hub assembly. The squeaking is due to the play in the bearing. Now the H2 dealer wants 403.50 per side for a grand total of 807.00. Unless I only replace teh one side. Just FYI, if anyone out there needs these I can get the same OEM ones for 150.00. So let me know should anyone need these, I would be happy to ship them as I think 403.50 is absurd

Dice, i'm glad you found the problem. I actually found a gm parts buyer and got the wheel assy. for $90. +/- . Just do one side. You never know the other side could go for another 100k miles.
