Hey fellas,

I have an '01 CLs completely stock with 148,xxx miles. I did a quick search and didnt turn up with anything.

While driving at highway speeds, usually around 70mph, after about 10-15 minutes of driving I can hear and feel a grinding noise. i feel the grind in the pedal and floorboard. When I first heard the noise it would last for about 3-5 seconds and go away. Today while driving the freeway, It lasted a good 20 seconds. i pulled over to the shoulder and sat for a bit, then proceeded with no noise.

i have had no recent work done nor have i been in an accident. Totally confused and concerned.

thanks in advance

 

brake pads low?

 

i havent checked...i had them replaced a good 3-4 months ago.

 

how many miles on the pads? any recent work done to the car?

 

i have about 2,000 if that much? and no work done but the brakes and an oil change done

 

2k is nothing. try to keep driving and listen to the noise carefully where its coming from

 

thx will do

 

Could be wheel bearings starting to go. I think my passenger side is going.

 

ya, i'd check the wheel bearing too

 

Wheel bearings or rotors. CL's warp rotors like nobody's business.

 

pretty sure its the bearings then...also could use some rotors. gonna take it to the shop today and find out for sure. thanks fellas
