I changed the front pads in July last year and it might be time for them to be changed again since they were only 10 bucks. But i was searching and i found a thing about wheel bearings. It did not say exactly the noise i had so i figure i ask. When i am in park and i go to drive or reverse it does not matter and i have the foot on the brake pedal and goto steer to get out it makes this god awful sound like a caliper would be stuck but i do not have any problems driving with it if it would be stuck. It is not a clunk but more like arhhh sound like something crunching, its hard to explain. The pads are starting to squeal real bad so i cleaned them up after draining the oil and putting it back in the engine trying to solve oil leak. I am gonna jack it up saturday and see if the pads are getting bad and if the rotors are glazed or warped.

Transfer case fluid good and front and rear differential fluid good. They look to be where they need to be just discolored i guess from age. I might do the transfer case on sunday since it has both plugs there the other two i wont touch.

Check caliper pins for play and wear.
Grease your front end.
10-11 grease fittings.

I will check the pins.
The front end was greased at the end of February right after inspection.

Did you grease it?
Did you make sure all 10-11 fittings were greased?

I did not grease it because thats something i do not have patience to do.
I took those pics a few minutes ago. The rotors look good the pads are iffy only about 1/4" left. There is yellow liquidy grease type stuff at the end of the cv boot like it would be oozing from there and a little on the side of the shock absorber and some back a little. Could that be the problem right there?>
