98 durango 180k miles. Runs great. However, I've noticed lately when I'm going very slow, like in neighborhoods or at traffic lights, when I let off the brakes and start rolling forward theres a slight noise, it's not a squeak or a grind per se... It sounds kinda like a fog horn. it only happens right when I lift my foot off the brakes and start rolling, and it only lasts like 1 second. Seems to be coming from the the front of the vehicle... Could it be a caliper not releasing or something? Defintely sounds friction related... Doesn't do it at high speeds say when I let off the brakes on the freeway though...

Thanks!

 

Your brakes are pushed away from the rotor by friction made from the rotor turning in the caliper...thats more than likely what you're hearing...

 

... or a hub bearing

yea i agree with indy, take a look at the hub bearings (cant hurt anything to look)

 

i have the same thing on my 98 if i lube up my bolt pins it stops for like a week so im just going to put a new caliper on the driver side thats the one thats givein me crap

 

That or the internals of the CAT could have broke loose inside the shell, however this would be a very slight sound and would rattle at an idle.
