Default Noise from Front end

I bought a 2010 Caravan and there is a rubbing noise from the front end. At first I though it was brakes but they seem ok.

Took a video and hope i can post the link here.

Any help would be grateful.

that could be a brakes sticking caliper. after some driving carefully touch the rim to see if its extremely hot. other than that maybe a wheel bearing going bad. that there aint difinitely good.

I take it you don't hear it parked in the driveway. Sounds like the frequency increases with speed. Gotta stick with brakes or bearings, maybe something in the transfer case. Doesn't sound like CV joints.

Is the van still covered under warranty? Because you may need to have chassis ears to find the problem.

Default Still need help with front end

I went to the Chrysler dealer and they told me it was front bearings. Had them changed and the noise is still there. I ran down a hill with the engine off and the noise is still there.

Any Help would be grateful.

Pavloh,

This is Chris from Chrysler Top Care. I am concerned that your visit to the dealer did not bring a resolution to your front end problem. Please private message me with your VIN, mileage, and contact information and I will try and help resolve your issue.
