Could be a loose pad in the caliper, very possible. Or the little silver bracket the pad ends sit in could've gotten pushed to one side causing a consistent noise.

it could be, but I would think that the little clip would cause a high pitch "tingy" noise if it were rubbing.  This sounds like I have big mud tires on the SHO.... sounds just like a lifted truck with nobby tires

Ahhh. That description screams hub assembly (wheel bearing).

That's what I am leaning towards. What do you think that would cost at the stealership?

[SHOnUup]

I have no idea on cost, I know when I replaced the hub assembly ' s on my trailblazer that the good ones were almost double the cost of the cheap assembly and was very easy to do.

If you get it for free at the dealership, do it.  Otherwise, consider getting the Timken heavy duty hubs instead.  Work well for the 2013+ ...

TIMKEN Part # HA590261 {#8A8Z1104A, 8A8Z1104B, BT4Z1104B}

I have never tackled changing the Hub Assembly out on any of my vehicles.  I know that it was expensive on my Tahoe.  I may call and see what their estimate is.  problem is, I am an hour away from my house, but only 2 minutes from my dealership..... so I would have to drive an hour home, return to stock tune, and then drive another hour out to the dealership again.... I may just take it to them and tell them what I have done to it, and to take it easy.... then leave a recording device in the car to capture any hot rodding they may do. haha

How long can I drive on it if it just started making the noise?

Timken is a must, or OEM, anything else and you will be replacing in 15-20k.

Really wouldn't want to suggest any kind of time frame as you never know.

It's a pretty easy job. Basic tools and a torque wrench I'm thinking. Couldn't see it being more than an hour of labor.

Any half-decent mechanic should be able to do this job.  No bearings to press into the hub or anything, hub/bearing is an assembly.

When car is jacked up, grab wheel at 12 & 6 position and wiggle to check for unusual play. You can also at this time turn car on and put in "N", turn off, then grab the spring with one hand quite firmly and spin tire with other hand. If you feel the vibration in spring that is also a sign of hub assembly failure. Good luck.

The dealer performed the two front wheel hubs,bearings and the TSB washers,basically give or take 3hrs labor,need the proper tools if not take it to the dealer and not as a simple task as some might think.

What did that run you  as far as cost goes?

[ZSHO]

Everything was covered under warranty,if thats not the case you figure 116.00 ea axle bearing and hub assembly from Tasca part # BT4Z-1104-B,heavy duty grease and 3hrs labor give or take a reasnable quote would be less than 600.00,hope this helps.
