Front end chugging noise?

[Stathakos]

Not sure if it's a motor mount. Seems to be from the driver side front end. The noise gets faster as I go faster. And is most noticeable when I'm cruising. and the car is at idle rpm. It sounds like it could be from the wheel area not sure though. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Minor update, sometimes I hear a click or a pop when I let off the brakes. Like as if the brakes were stuck to the rotor. I was also told a while back I have warped rotors and I have steering wheel shake

90% sure either your wheels are out of round or its your rotors.

Jack the car up, put blocks, and put in N. Spin the wheel and see if there is any lateral or radial runout (ie wobble sideways or up/down).

I have no idea what to tell you. But after watching that video and feeling your frustration at the end of the video, well, I hope it gets fixed. Please post with updates, I have a friend with a 2010 2.0 and it did the same thing. I will ask him what he found

That noise is usually caused by rust underneath the brake rotors. Have your rotors replaced and the hubs cleaned of all rust and I bet it'll be gone.

Its like a chhh chhh chhh chhh noise right? Like rust scraping? Its hard to hear.

I have very similar noise from front. Disappears as I apply brake and squeaky chugging noise which goes faster as I go fast. Was your sound also in regular interval, like you can time it if going as same speed.

I'm waiting for my caliper rebuild kit to come it. I checked my caliper as it was very annoying and found piston seal melted on to the pads coz of heat and being on the car since 2005. I think it was coz of this that pads weren't disengaging after I release break pedal and causing this dragging noise.

It's all guesswork but the steering wheel shake could be that the tires/rims are not balanced. The brakes issue could be that the rotors need machining. That sound could be as simple as the fender liner rubbing against something (did you drop it or have aftermarket rims?). The click could be that the calipers are sticking.

Are you up to date on your maintenance services? You probably already know this but it doesn't have to be serviced by the dealer either. Just keep receipts.
