noise coming from fr. pass. wheel. could a warped rotor cause noise? this is a 98cv P71. doesnt seem to be getting any worse. any help appreciated.

What kind of noise? Grinding, scraping, rubbing? A warped rotor will be felt when you apply the brakes, (a surging sensation usually), I had one of them in my Sport. Find a frame lift so you can turn the wheel manually & look & listen for the sound.

As flyboy stated, the sound of the noise is a key issue in diagnosing. If it is a slight squeaking, look at the hubcap if it has full wheel covers. If it is a roaring noise as you drive it, look to the wheel bearing. If it is a grindg noise, look to the brake system.

thanks for the ideas. i'll have to look and listen a little better.

hub cap seemed tight, but made a rattle noise compared to other wheels.
added a couple of cable ties to secure better. problem solved. thanks
again.
