Wheel bearing or caliper

[Jimmy123]

I recently noticed a loud noise coming from my front passenger side so I bought a wheel bearing replaced it but the problem still exists. I noticed that my rotor had not been smooth and is rough on the edge so I believe the caliper may be leaking? Could that make a noise like a bad bearing?

Leaking.... brake fluid? if so, You would notice that your pedal will become soft and not do as much overtime due to lack of fluid. I don't think it is that.

Raise the vehicle and shake the wheel down. If no movement, it is usually safe to assume the bearing etc is good. Severely warped rotor could cause this, but you would feel it even more so in the brake pedal once you push on it.

How often do you drive the vehicle? Do you hear it all the time or mainly when turning?and if no to both of those you would be surprised the noise a tire can make when the vehicle has a poor alignment or better yet a tire that has cords separating. all things to look into but get back to me about those other questions.

I drive it daily, but I did take both front tires off and looked a them both, the bearings are good but the passenger side roter isn't to great. The sound happens all the time while driving and when I turn right it makes a squeak sometimes

it could be that stupied brake dust pertector round black thing behind the rotor

Is the noise constant when moving? Or does it occur only when you hit the brakes? Does the car pull to the right at all?

Just going off what you said, with a potentially worn out rotor and the noise, it could be a seized caliper. If the passenger side rotor AND brake pads appear to be more worn out than the driver side, it's the caliper.

 

[Jimmy123]

Yeah the noise is only occurring when driving. It's much faster paced at higher speeds and slowly down is gradually takes longer like its making a rotation.
Possibly grinding my roter?

I'd say give us some pictures... It could be the dust shield, frozen pins, could be worn pads, could be a few things but w/o seeing it or hearing it, it's hard to guess. These cars have floating calipers the only thing that should be touching the rotor is the pads.
