The front end of our 2019 Ascent started making a rubbing noise which seemed to indicate a bad hub (second time I had to replace one- the first time in only replaced one because I was tight on funds) and I figured while I was at it I wanted to redo the struts. So this time I bought two new Timken hubs and then ordered new struts and new bearings. The hubs went pretty easy and to be honest the struts were not that bad. I got it all back together and the front strut was making a popping rattle noise. UGGGG I did not pay as much attention to that one (did it first) as I did reassembling the passenger. So I pulled it off again. Made sure I got the spring in the right place and tightened it all down and viola the freaking front end if finally QUIET!!! Worth ordering the OEM struts and rebuilding them for sure.

I’m wondering if anybody can help me identify the sound. 2022 ascent premium. Noise started yesterday and the left driver side wheel. The noise happens while driving maybe 40% of the time, and the grinding when I break happens about 60% of the time.
