noise in front end 1700 voyager

[ckr1909]

have a 2012 voyager 1700. whe n starting to ric
de and getting up to 30 nto 50 mph i get a rotating scraping noise from the front sounds just like brakes or a speedo cable noise. i know ther no speedo cables so does anyone have an idea what could be going on. some times no noise until going into wind. when slowing down when you get to 25 mph the noise gores away.

get it on a lift and spin the front wheel...or take it to the dealer

If you can hear a noise from the front end at 30 to 50 MPH over the exhaust, intake, and wind noise, it is probably pretty bad.

Definitely do what Audidoc suggests and raise the front off the ground and spin the wheel. On a 2012 whatever it is should be covered under warranty.

Have you put on a new front tire . If so if you did not space the right hand axel spacer at 2MM as the manual says it is very important that you do this as if you do not the right hand brake caliper will not line up and your brake will drag and wear out the pads . Also it could cause fluid in the caliper with the added friction and heat to flash off and cause the brakes to lock up. it can happen it did on my 1200.So check the space between the lip on the spacer and the fork tube I think this might be your problem. This happened to me the first time I changed my front tire.

I've got to go with 1700Guy's probable cause. Same thing happened to me. Maintaining proper axle spacing on front end is critical to brake longevity and noise reduction.
