    Hi everyone, I’ve had this small ocilating vibration happening at my front right passenger tire for a few months now. I just thought it was tires so I never worried about it. Now I installed a bilstein 5100 level and the noise has gotten worse. I thought that it was a needle bearing but realized that there’s only one on the drivers side. When I put it into 4 wheel drive the sound goes away and is replaced with what sounds like is a slight rubbing or scraping sound on the passenger side. Do any of you know what this could be?

    You absolutely positive it’s passenger side? Sounds exactly like the needle bearing issue but that’s driver side. Noises can seem to move/resonate so it’s understandable that it can seem to come from somewhere else. Just replaced mine, and fixed the exact issue you’re describing. I’m actually surprised at how much quieter it is now, and how loud it actually was before I replaced it.

    just read the last part of your post, missed it first time....I’d put the wheel in the air and look at the CV and bearing.
