Any ideas on what I might need to check?
Ive got a noise that I can hear when i slow down to stop , it sounds almost like a bearing dragging but dont think that should be it being that i just replaced them 2 months ago?
I 'm not a mister goodwrench :doh: so if you have any ideas or good ways to check things out I would appreciate it!
 
I am not sure what a "bearing dragging" sounds like, and I am sure you probably thought of this already, but what about your brakes? The brake pads on the LC have a tendency to wear out very quickly. Usually you will get a warning (a high pitched squeal) from the wear out sensor on the pads, but I have seen them break off many times. If this happens, the only way you'll know the pad is worn out is when the metal from the back of the pad touches the rotor. Every time you step on the brake you will hear a grinding noise. I had this happen on a Honda once. I wore a groove in the rotors and had to replace the pads and rotors - not cheap.

Pull the wheels off and check the thickness of all 8 brake pads.
 
i will check that this weekend! what are yall's thoughts on the nut being to tight on the bearing is that a possibility and what would it sound like if anything if that was the case?
:confused:
