Spinning noise when driving slow

Whenever I slow down or drive under 30mph I can hear a weird spinning or rotating noise coming from in front of me. It kinda sounds like I have a flat tire or something is rubbing against something else. It stops when I go faster and I can’t feel anything while I’m driving. It just makes the noise. It’s a second gen. Any suggestions?

 

Sounds like a bad wheel bearing

 

+1 for a bad front wheel bearing. If you can jack it up and check play it would confirm the failure, heres a video link:

It doesn’t shake like that when i jack it up

 

Did you check both sides? Did you spin the front wheels when it was jacked up and did they make noise (like 3:15 mark in that video)? Still could be a bearing but might be something else too. Maybe check if the dust shields on the back side of your brake rotors isn't contacting the brake surface, and also check that your brake pads aren't dragging?

 

I spun them both and they didn’t sound like the video. I’ll check the brakes.

 

Went to check the brakes and realized one of the lug nuts was loose. Tightened all of them and there’s no noise now. Guess I got lucky it wasn’t anything major.

 

Is it a rotational squeaking noise that speeds up as you do until you can no longer hear it? Could be universal joints on the driveshaft if so

 

Welcome aboard

 

Hey my truck has been making this weird almost rubbing grinding noise when turning and when slowing down. I took it to toyota thinking it was a wheel bearing but everything checked out to be normal . Any idea what this could be since they couldn't find anything wrong with it

 

That sure sounds like a wheel bearing. Be easier to tell though if you could post a video of it.

Could be the brake shield rubbing the rotor or something else stuck down there rubbing it

 

Yeah its super weird . I know it has to be something

I'll try to figure out how to post the video i made. It was giving me an error when I tried before

 

Can't post videos directly to the site like you can with photos, videos have to be uploaded to a video hosting site like YouTube or Vimeo then post the link on here

 

.

Ohhh okay cool thanks ! I have a YouTube channel I'll post it there and then add the link

Thanks !

 

Here's the link. It's hard to hear with wind but the sound Is still there

It's difficult to tell there's noise other than the wind in your video. Perhaps since you're hearing the grinding noise in person you can distinguish between the noises in the video.

Sure you're tires aren't rubbing anything?

 

I can try to get a better video today

Yeah nothing is rubbing from what i can see. I've had this tire setup for 3 years and it's been fine till lately. I'll look into it more

Thanks for the help appreciate it

 

Cool. Perhaps a video where the camera is sheltered from the wind would do it.

3 years for the tire setup but don't you have a new bumper install?

 

I've been running this tire set up for 3 years now and have had no issues, till now . I recently installed a cbi bumper but they sent me the wrong year for my truck if that's what your talking about

 

Yes, just trying to rule out any new issue that may have been introduced. I'm asking whether the new bumper supports or wings can come in contact with the tire when driving under any circumstance.
