Guys,

I recently did a brake job and replaced all four rotors and pads. Everything seemed fine. Used appropropiate amounts of grease on the caliper/pad touch points and behind the pad shims. I drove it for a few days and properly broke in the pads/rotors. Yesterday, I was pullng a trailer home from Scout Camp with the boys and after 50 miles, at the top of the exit ramp, I get a familar chime and the three amigos visit me! I also notice when I turn hard to the right, I get a metallic chirp. Seems to be coming from the front right wheel. I pulled the pads and everything looks fine. No binding. It also doesnt seem to be the dust plate. Could it be the hub? Thoughts on what to check or diagnose?

I also rebuilt the front prop shaft a few years ago, and recently lubed the zerks... FWIW.

I was just looking at my truck and turned the wheels hard right and left. I noticed on the right front hub what appears to be the remains of a circular seal or something gone bad.

When I replaced my left front hub I noticed the brake rotor was actually rubbing the head of the bolt that holds the dust shield. I never heard it rub from inside the truck but got a faint sraping sound when I roled the wheel by hand.

I got the "new" used hub from Will this afternoon. (Thanks Will!)

Once it's installed with the new ABS Sensor, with the ABS computer reset itself? And will the three amigos go away? Or will I need to reset the codes?
