Wheel bearings?

~178k

New sway bar end links and tie rods.

Rotors and calipers are clear no interference

Is this sound wheel bearings?

Sounds like your dust shield is rubbing

 

Sounds almost like the brake dust shield rubbing, hard to tell with only 5 seconds

 

Just edited to say its not the brakes. Thats what I though initially as well

 

Never heard a whee bearing like that. My guess is dust shield also.

 

Gnarly sound

 

take the tire off and re-check.
should be able to find the sound pretty easily after that I would think.

 

x2. Although, if OP is still rockin' his original WBs at 178k miles, I would go ahead and change them as maintenance items.

 

I'd say dust shield. Never heard wheels bearings like that

 

We are referring to a possibly bent dust shield causing the rubbing sound, not the actual brake pads.See pic:

 

Definitely pie tin sound which means dust shield. Just bend it back away from the disc.
To check bearings, spin the tire with one hand while holding onto spring/control arm with the other hand. A rough bearing will show noticeable high frequency vibration that can be felt in the spring long before it its 'audibly' bad.

 

Thanks for the replies!
Sure a shit it was the dust shield. Oh well easy fix!
