Hey guys.

I cant seem to figure out this problem with my car's front.

Everytime I'm doin 10-60 mph on my A4, I can hear a constant whirring noise from the front left (maybe the tire) but as soon as I apply a considerable amount of brake, the noise goes away completely and comes back as soon as I let go. Its almost as if something metal part is grinding with another.

Also, everytime I pass a bump on the road, irrespective of the speed, I hear a "whishhh" noise from both front tires. Very similar to the noise a hydraulic pump's "whishhh" when it lets the air out.

Can anyone tell me what this is and if this has happened to anyone else? I'm thinkin about going to Audi but up here they charge $400 for 2 brake pads and I have no idea what I might end up paying.

I appreciate any help. Thanks again.

 

this is definately a bearing issue .. read some DIYs online, they explain it well how to identify and change it
