Grining/Vibrations only during/after long drives.
 
After my Ksport install, I have been getting a grinding or vibration(not sure which) from my front left corner. It only pccurs during long drives, for example when I drive to UCF. I don't think it has anything to do with engine temp, because I have noticed the gauge at normal temp long before it starts making noise. I am thinking CV boot, not totally sure. No clicking, and I only feel it during acceleration(thats not to say its not their in coasting/braking, I just dont feel it). At first I thought it was a seized caliper, but its not. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Probably a wheel bearing...also, check your torque members , the brake sliders may be stuck and your car has crooked brake pads..all of this happened to me in the last few months lol

Check your dust plates on hub, u say it only haps on accel so there might b some rubbing between plate and rotor-->good luck

I thought about the bearing, but from what Ive been told, that sounds like a whine? Like a little electric motor or somthing? The vibes are causing the noise, not just a noise. It very well could be my brakes. I might have to do some work on them anyway. What do you mean by sliders?

Not the dust shield.

I believe he meant piston-->slider?

Most likely it's your bearings. When they go bad they begin to get a little slack allowing the axle to pivot slightly. This in turn causes a rubbing (scraping) noise. You only get it during acceleration because your putting torque on the axle causing it to flex in a certain direction.
Could be wrong, but I was getting a scraping noise too. Had my brakes serviced. New pads, rotors, and on one side a caliper. Sound didn't go away until I did the bearing.

Jack up your front end. And wiggle the wheels. There should be no play in them. If it wiggled when you shake it form 3 o clock and 9 o clock position then its the wheel bearing.
