Can anyone name this sound?

I have a sound coming from the front of my motor. Anyone have experience with it? It doesn't happen all the time.

Agree with Matty, get the serp belt off, that should eliminate half the suspects.

I guess I need to order some rollers. I've put 25k on since my last belt change. Grrrrr.

It's not consistent, just sometimes I hear it.

@ BoxPin, dang dude, what's up with the power?

I'm not worried as much about the noise as I am about your parking abilities !! That poor rim

My grandma had rims like that from bouncing off the curbs with her old school park by feel style.

The water pump would be easy once the cover is off by using a stethoscope or even a couple feet of hose held up to your ear to locate the source.
