OK guys, hasn't been to the dealership yet but I figured I would run it by you guys to see if anyone else has experienced it. My 06 CC 2WD (4.7) is making a 'rubbing / howling' type sound from the front when I get to speeds up to and over around 60 mph. I can actually feel a slight rubbing through the pedals and steering wheel, as if the tire was rubbing or something, but very slight, its more noise than feel. Happens everytime I get to those speeds. Can't see anything rubbing or anything wrong, and no other problems with the ride or anything. Any ideas?

 

Sounds like a front wheel bearing to me.

 

Ditto!

 

blown wheel bearing or a stuck caliper, what does it smell like. brake would smell nasty burnt food smell and a bearing would leave shavings

 

Doesn't smell at all which is why I didn't think it was brakes, but who knows. Taking it into the dealer today.

 

Just got a call from the dealer, both front hubs are bad.

 

Did the dealership have a possible diagnosis as to what caused them to become faulty by chance?

 

Haven't gotten that far yet, they don't have the replacdements on hand so they won't be doing the work til tomorrow.

 

By any chance do you have bigger rims on like 20' or bigger that would usually make the bearing go out much faster

 

Nope, all stock, still has the original tires.
