Everything happened in less than 2 minutes....all at once!!!
Was gently pulling into a parking lot at a shopping center, so I was going slow enough to hear a subtle, yet DISTINCT, grinding noise that coincided with my speed......faster/slower my wheels were going, the faster/slower the grinding noise was.
At the same time, my 'ABS' light came on. When I went to leave the store, I couldn't get out of PARK. I fixed that. It was my brake sensor. I might just pull the bulb out of the dash to estinguish the ABS light.
The "grinding" noise has never been heard again.....been about a few weeks now. What the hell was that? Sounded like a bearing going bad. At least what I heard in the past with some old cars back in my college days. But that usually got worse after a while.
Disco (1998) runs fine. No grinding noise. I have to say, I feel a SMALL, subtle shake/vibration when I'm on a smooth freeway going freeway speeds.
Could the bearings be bad but noiseless?
The wheel isn't wobbly when I attempt to wiggle it. Brakes are tight and secure. Took out, cleaned and tapped the sensors back in.
Any suggestions?? |

Are you sure the grinding noise wasn't the sound of the ABS going off? |
