Hey guys, very annoying “sissing” noise coming out of my front driver side wheel. Happens at all speeds but seems to lessen when applying brakes.
Tried to hit the gas while applying brakes to see if it was the motion speed or the actual application of the brakes and couldn’t tell.
I just replaced the wheel bearing on my other LC but it doesn’t seem like it’s any of those parts (loose hub lock nut etc). I once had the lock nut come loose and it was clinking in the lock nut cap very loudly but it’s not that.
I thought about taking the wheel off and hitting any rusty parts with cleaner/ lubricant but wanted to hit the boards here first.
It’s pretty faint but loud enough to have onlookers turn heads to see what’s up. And super annoying.
Here’s a link to the actual noise from my window. Excuse the background wind noise. Be aware that the volume of the noise here is due to passing say a wall or something which enhances the sound.

Thanks in advance!
