Front wheel seals and bearings
Jeff- on my coach, the tire was defective. Tire looked good. Replaced the 2
front steers and no ticking. It was driving us nuts at slow speed, cause at high speed, the wind noise counteracted that ticking sound. Bearings-possible? Ernie Ekberg 83PT40 Weatherford, tx [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |

Front wheel seals and bearings
Hello All
There has been a ticking noise at the left front wheel of the bird since we put steer tires on 2 seasons ago, you hear it when you get next to a median wall or go under a bridge. We have taken the wheel off and inspected it and the bearing twice only for the noise to come back, should we remove the bearing to see if it is bad? It has been about 12 to 15 thousand miles like that without a problem. Thanks Guys!

Front wheel seals and bearings
Jeff,
I remember something said at the RIV this year about the metal stem on the tires inner tube striking on the brake pad or caliper and that it could cut thru it and cause loss of tire pressure. Worth checking.

Switch rims/tire assemblies right to left and see if the noise
follows. Paint the stem and see if it strikes off. The ticking may be a shoe tracking also? if it stops ticking with minimal braking force it may well be a brake issue. the easy fix for that is to hone the drums The good thing with viewable oil bath bearings is you can see when a bearing is crapping out. the oil gets dirty, kinda muddy looking.
