Bearing-like noise

[jptoro]

Guys.

My 6th gen started to develop a bearing like noise on the passenger side. When the car is moving the noise starts. When the car is not moving with the engine running it does not sound.

i am trying to figure out the issue. Could it be a bad bearing or could it be a suspension noise?

any thoughts?

thx

It would be worth checking to see if a rock is stuck behind your brake shield.

Otherwise a video would help a lot.

Unfortunately the noise is so acute that ia is hard to record. I will give it a good wash underneath and see if it goes away.
I agree with your assessment. I will keep you posted. Thx

Well….the noise is gone. I think you are correct. It was a rock/ pebble stuck behind the brake shield.

Thank you

Stoked it was an easy fix.

It happened once on my MKV GTI and it sounded like something was very very wrong.

Guys. Ina afraid the noise is back. This time is a little more pronounced. I am taking it to the dealer but if you guus have any ideas ….they are welcome.

the noise is constant. It looks line metal rubbing against metal. Like a bearing without grease. By the passenger side. It is not the engine. As I rev the engine in neutral there is no sound. As the car accelerates the noise starts and stay constant.
It is a mistery to me. The dealer heard it before so that is a relief.

Any updates? What was it? I have a Trailhunter doing the same thing. Sounds like a stone or a wheel bearing issue. It comes and goes though. Seems to happen when it’s warmer out.

Is it the turbo whistling?

Unfortunately not. The dealer could not hear the noise. They told me that if the noise is back I should bring it in. I did it 2 times. According to them, they had 3 people driving the car but could not hear it. I gave up. I left my car with then 3 weeks and nothing. So they keep telling me…..If I hear the noise I need to bring it back right away but we all know that is not possible……it is very frustrating. If anyone has any ideas please these are welcome to……

I’m sorry that’s happening. I hope it gets figured out and fixed soon.

I've been dealing with this since day 1 on my ORP, definitely frustrating. For me it happens once I get above 20MPH or so, and is more pronounce the warmer out it is. Dealer said they couldn't hear it the two times I took it in, which is frustrating as once you hear it it's hard to NOT hear it. Still no idea what's causing it, but I've seen posts on Tacoma forums that some of them are having the same thing. Here's a couple more posts about it:
