I just noticed an odd noise coming from my front driver's side wheel. I think that it just started, it has this weird creeking sound, not suspension, it happens every time the wheel turns and seems like it happens in one spot of the wheel. Kind of sound like the brake pad on the rotor and creeking in one spot, i just washed my truck, so i might have got tire shine/wheel wash on the rotor, could that cause it? It also seems like when i hit the brakes it gets quieter, so i am leaning towards some sort of residue on the rotor in one spot? Does anyone have a good idea of what can cause that creek???

Thanks

 

Could be u-joints or a wheel bearing. How many miles? Have you replaced the joints or bearing before and if so when?
