View Full Version : Weird hub noise

I've got a set of AVM manual hubs (the red high performance version) the drivers side is making a weird sort of rattle sound when in 2wd and unlocked. I presume they just need some grease but the weird thing is that I got rid of the auto locking hubs a year ago because the drivers side was making a weird noise. The noise goes away if the hub is locked. Could it be anything other than the hub?

Most likly the hub.

If locked, and you hear a clicking sound can be hub or cv

When the hub is locked in either 2WD or 4WD then no noise at all. I just thought it was a coincidence that I had the same problem with both the factory auto hubs and the after market manual hubs on the same side of the car.

Check the wheel bearings or its a cv joint

I wondered about that, but if it is in 2WD and the hub is unlocked, won't the CV be stationary and therefor not make any noise?
