Scotty Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Jack up the wheel and grab it at 3 and 9 o'clock and see if you have any play. It sounds like a hub bearing. But your description is very broad, it could also be a brake pad / rotor problem (metal on metal). How is it at highway speeds are you getting a shimmy or groan?

KHE Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Have you checked the brake pads? If they are the original pads and you have 90,000+ on the odometer, there might not be anything left of the pads except for the metal backing plate....

KHE Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 I think there is a bulletin on greasing the intermediate steering column shaft. Kevin '93 Fleetwood Brougham '05 Deville '04 Deville 2013 Silverado Z71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
