There is a grinding noise coming from one of my wheels . I'm pretty sure it's a bad wheel bearing . Noticed the noise after braking very hard to avoid a collision . Have had the SUV looked at test driven by an independent mechanic . He believes it is the wheel bearing.
When turning clicking noise was coming from wheel area. Car has only 50,000 miles. When I took car in for oil check mechanic checked it out for me. They ended up replacing the passenger cv axle.
