Hello All,

Recently replaced my driver side wheel hub and stupid me didnt try 4x4 just before replacing to compare. But however after replacing I did test drive two wheel drive works fine but four high sounds weird... like a whining or rubbing sound.... any ideas? Thinking I should take axle nut off and tap the axle out and try greasing and reseating axle, would this be good idea?

Thanks to all.

Won't help, once the axle nut is torqued the axle never moves.

You should have greased your splines when installing the axel. But like said above it wouldn't have anything to do with your noise since your cv is turning in both 2wd and 4wd

Ok thanks guys so what do you suggest?

Check the boot, might have had a weak spot that then tore when you were in there.

That wouldn't cause a noise only in 4wd. and if it was torn there would be grease everywhere.

Should I remove and try reseating the hub and axle etc..... wanna get working 100% before snow flies

Is it a good brand name hub and bearing? were are you hearing the noise coming from ? Can you tell if its the side you just replaced?

Are you driving it in 4x4 on a good traction area? Maybe you're getting noise because you're putting the driveline into a little bit of a bind.

MEVOTECH 5yr warranty and yeah sounds like from the front driver side where I just replaced the hub

 

[Derekh1979]

I drive in 2wd normally but to test I put into 4 high and yes it was under normal road conditions.

Update:
Sounds like i dunno how to explain it... brake pads rubbing on rotor but only under torque if I let of the sound goes away... please help.

Did you perhaps bend the dust shield when you changed the hub and it's now dragging on the rotor?

 

[Derekh1979]

Wouldn't it rub under 2wd and 4wd?

You had the caliper off- are the caliper bolt/stud boots lubed and caliper moving freely? Seized caliper piston could also be doing it.
