I have a 2002 Nissan Spec V that recently started making a loud cyclic noise from the right front wheel. I was on a road trip down in Florida when I first noticed this occur (I live in Michigan). The noise at first only happened when I turned right while driving, now it sometimes happens when I'm going straight as well (but not turning left). The noise also does not occur when I'm braking or accelerating, but happens when I am decelerating.
At first, I thought this was my brakes, as they need replacing. Ordered new rotors/pads and am getting them installed this week. However, I noticed yesterday after taking a couple hour trip to visit a friend that the noise from the wheel is significantly reduced now after that trip on the highway, but I can still hear it if I turn off the radio and listen closely. I'm confused now, do I have a problem with my differential or wheel bearings? Could it just be worn brakes? Being that the noise ceases when I apply the brakes, I'm getting worried...
