Chirping from the wheels while rolling

Dry front u-joints?

 

Pretty low mileage for a wheel bearing IMO. My experiences with bad wheel bearings have been more of a rumble and growl sound at above certain RPMs. I guess it can chirp but I haven't heard many going with a cadence of "chirp" "chirp" "chirp". Any aftermarket wheels/tires? If you have a stethoscope you could find out real quick if it's a bearing.

 

No lifts and such. Completely stock on the ride portion. I don't have a stethoscope but I may get one since my wife is prego and we can hear the heartbeat with one. How would I do so on the bearings?

 

Jack vehicle. Rotate with stethoscope on hub. You will hear the bearing.

Here's a decent example but on a front wheel drive vehicle. He also has a fancy stethoscope. You could use this one from Harbor Freight. https://youtu.be/L8aasJIJDhw

 

This is correct!

I completely got that mixed up.

For the " Chirp " sound, check the brake caliper retaining clip.

What a dummy

 

@LivinOnEdge did you ever figure this out? I think my truck is doing the same…chirping crickets when I start rolling. It’s not doing it all the time, seems to be more when it’s warm like you said.

 

Found out it was premature wear on the serpentine belt.

 

Damn...that's surprising to hear when it only has the issue rolling and not at idle. Very strange.

 

Had the issue at idle periodically as well.

 

Bummer...guess I'm on my own then. Definitely doesn't seem belt related thus far on mine.

 

Ever find out what caused the chirping?

 

Yes:

Thank you.

 

UPDATE:

So this thread is pretty old now but the chirping happened again. Long story short, they foreman actually did a deep dive this time instead of having another tech just do a quick check. My water pump was leaking and it was leaking onto my belt which caused the squeaking. Thankfully I paid for the platinum warranty so I'm covered, but I wish they took care of this 30K miles ago...
