I have been to 4 mechanics and I still do not have an answer. The sound is only when I turn to the right. You can hear it at 11-12 and 25-26. Please please please help! There is a suspected malfunctioning ABS module, but not sure if it’s related. The wheel bearings are fairly new, by about a year.

Have you checked your brakes? ---

There’s nothing there that an ABS module would do. The first thing I’d do is take a look at the dust shields for the brake rotors - maybe bend them out just a little or something. And after that just start looking for other similar kinds of loose or bent things that can encounter the spinning wheel, rotors or whatever. ---

I’ve been told the brakes are fine, but I’ll take a closer look. I only mentioned the ABS module because I’m having ABS issues and the mechanics best guess is that’s the problem, but he said it could be a sensor in the wheel housing. I really don’t know much when it comes to cars. I’ve been to 2 dealer mechanics and 2 outside mechanics. None of them can agree on my issue. Actually, the last dealer said not to worry about my ABS malfunctioning, even though I can’t stop properly. I wish I knew more about cars so I could explain everything better to the mechanics. I even drove with the last one, but he couldn’t hear the sound… he’s a little… older. ---

Could the rotors make a sound like that? I think I remember one telling me I could have the rotors turned after the wheel bearings were replaced, but that the brakes were fine and I didn’t need to. ---

Something rubbing on the brake rotor could - the dust shields I mentioned are just thin metal plates on the backside of the rotor. If they get distorted a little they can rub on the rotor. But basically someone just has to look. But it just sounds to me like a little bit of metal rubbing on a little bit of metal. ---

Ok, thanks! I’ll talk with the mechanic when I go back for the ABS. At least I’m not the only one that can hear it!
