Noise when braking
I am getting a rumbling noise when I brake. Seems to be right front. I
have changed tires, wheels and brake pads. No other indications are apparent. Seems to be less when below ~45mph. Car has 95,000 miles. 2000 SAAB 9-3 5 speed manual What should I start investigating WV |

Bad CV joints usually have a different sound and are heard when rounding corners, but dont rule anything out. |

That is what I was thinking but the research I did gave little information that pointed that way. I have never had a wheel bearing go before so I am in the dark on this. Thanks for the input and I'll pursue that avenue a little more. WV |

Loose bowling ball in the trunk might be another.

I did the pads because I thought the pads were getting worn (50,000 miles on them). When the rumble stayed the same I went Oh, Oh .... WV |
