Steady hissing sound coming from the front

[Andrew_Pakula]

I am getting a steady hissing sound coming from the front.<p>It is only happening when the car is in motion, when the car comes to a stop it will go away.<p>I think it is coming more from the front right side.<p>Other than the steady hissing sound while in motion there is no other noticable problems, steering and performance is fine.<p>It only started happening tonight while on the hiway.<p>Any ideas?

hmmmm...hissing? could it be the wear indicator on your brake pad just starting to rub? or part of your plastic fender well rubbing on your rim/tire?<p>just tossing out ideas...ill think some more nad get back to ya

[Andrew_Pakula]

No clue, brakes are ok I think, no noticable problems stopping or anything like that.<p>Have never had any rubbing problems before, however I'll take a closer look in the morning.

the brakes are a serious posibility as the wear indicator can come on early or prematurly causing a squiling or rubbing (or maybe hissing)sound with no noticable loss in braking performance...good luck

[Andrew_Pakula]

hmm ok, I'll get that checked, thanks

Andrew I think its just your blow off valve going off

[Andrew_Pakula]

I think it is definately brake related.<p>Today it was stopping and starting again on the hiway.<p>I noticed a few times if I tapped the brakes the noise would stop.<p>So something is up with the front right brake.

you should be able to see the wear indicator on the side of your pad...looks like a metal clip...check it out.

Sounds like the slide is stuck and the pad is resting against the rotor, it will keep rubbing until the pad is gone.
