Low speed rubbing noise

[Easy Rider]

One way to stop the noise is to loosen the axle nut one flat (not turns! )at a time. Just a 3-4 "flats" should do it, and it doesn't loosen the axle enough to be a concern.:bowdown:

REALLY ??
NOT !!!!!

That has to rank right up there with some of the WORST vehicle advice I have ever seen.

My bet is the brakes pads rubbing the rotors slightly. With the front wheels being open and setting to the sides you can hear the pads rubbing at slow speeds. Does the noise stop when you apply the brakes lightly? If so than it's the pads. Nothing to worry about as long as they don't rub hard enough to cause the rotor to get hot. This is common with disc brakes and lots of vehicles including your car has this going on, just not as easy to hear it in your car.

Thanks, I will try that.

LeftCoast, sometimes the pads get canted and bound on the pins they're supposed to "float" on. Those pins do need a light lubing especially if they have some roughness to them.

Thank you for that, I will need to learn how to do it though. At least there was no burning smell after my 120 mile ride home.
