for the past few days after hitting an enormous pothole, ive been experiencing some grinding noise coming from the passenger side wheels/brakes. Even when i wasnt braking, the grinding noise would occur. From the noise of the wheels spinning i could tell it is only one area that is grinding. After pressure washing my car and wheels the noise only came while braking. Am i in need of new brakes or wheel bearings or lower ball joints? HELP.

 

I don't see the brakes being damaged by a pot hole but kind of sounds more like the bearing to me

 

Does the noise get more pronounced when putting a load on that corner (turning), or get quieter when the load is less? If so, it sounds like a wheel bearing.

 

Jack up the car and see if anything is bent. Compare the passenger side to the drivers side.Spin the wheel and see if the noise is there.

 

I love how people would rather keep driving and ask on a forum then just jacking it up and looking under there in the first place

 

im aiming towards a bearing...
