Hey guys, so i went out for food tonight and i began to hear this sound coming from what i think is the middle-to-back of the car, i cannot figure out if its more to the left or right. It occurs both in gears and neutral as well. The speed in which i hear it is at approximately 6-1 mph. As i slow for a stop light i can hear the kek kuk kek kuk kek kuk kek kuk and the slower i go kek...........................kuk................. ..........kek...................kuk.complete stop. Does anyone know this sound.? My guess is wheel bearing, but i have never heard a wheel bearing noise, so this is just a clueless guess.
Any help would be gladly appreciated.Thanx

 

or brakes, when was the last time u serviced them? or maybe the dust shield is rubbing? easy wat to check the bearing is jack it up and check for play from side to side.... i think.

 

Well, i was doing stud work last 3 weeks and rear pads were perfect. Dust shield...hmm....well its not a rubbing sound, but more like a clunking sound and whats funny is the 1st sound sounds different from the 2nd (kek kuk)

 

uuugh could one of ur rims be loose? ud only here/feel the shifting of the rim on the hub in very slow speeds. or maybe a brake pad came loose?

 

I'll unscrew andcheck pads and rims tomorrow morning and report back.

 

Ok, so i checked the pads and rim both looked good. About 1 nut on both backwheel could still have tightened, but that couldnt have caused it. The other thing i should mention is i have 4 studs iout of 5 on the rear right rim, but once again, that shouldn't cause it either, plus i never had that sound up until yesterday.The sound is so light, but yet annoying,anyone else wanna chime in.?

 

you might want to put that last stud/lug nut on that rim, that can cause for the other ones(studs/lug nuts) on that rim to get looser as you go, believe me i had a bad experience with something just like that, but that can also cause the wheel to shift for the wheel is not being held on there as evenly as it should. just from my experience. good luck finding the problem.

 

Yeah, but where sells ONE lugnut.?It got chewed up and i changed studs and was short one lug somehow.

 

i know autozone has them both lug nuts and studs they sell them as singles.

 

ok,well i will go check for one lug tomorrow. But i really dont think its gonna fix the light kek kuk im hearing.I will give it a try though.

 

I'd start with the brakes and then look into the bearings... placing the front of the car on stands and letting it run in gear might yield a faster diagnosis.

Have you checked your swaybar link bushings?

 

Ok, so brakes, what do you recommend i do with them. As for bearings, after reading, almost every noise that comes from bearings are more like hummmings. Having the car on stands,in gear running.....hmm...is that safe.? So far, im still trying to get atleast 2 lugnuts, one for the one missing at the back and one for spare and see if that fixes it.

How do i go about checking them.?

 

I'm sure one can always make it safer. I've done it thousands of time, make sure the handbrakes are on when you do this and the wheels are clearly away from the ground. It has never failed me but I'm sure one could mess it up... so try not to make the news if you opt to do this.

I doubt the lugnuts are going to do anything. As far as the brakes, you're checking to see if there's play between the pads and the rotors and any other anomalies.

Ok,will take a look at em again for what you make sound like uneven wearingpads, so its like they're tapping around in there? Also...people where sells single closed end tuner lugnuts for our cars?
