Default wierd sound?

so i think it's my rotors...they only do it every now and then but when i'm cruising around 35, it's a faint wheel noise coming from the front, i got my breaks done about 15000 miles ago but nobody said anything about my rotors needing resurfacing or replacing...any ideas of what it may be?

sorry, it's a every now and again noise, but like a high tone metal wobbeling on something noise...like something is not straight in the front...hard to describe but it's always when i'm at a constant speed around 35mph or so

Rotors don't usually make noise when you're not on the brakes. It may be the dustshield touching the rotor, or even a bearing.

""I recently purchased a 2004 Nissan 350Z. When I went in for first Lube, Oil, & Filter I was told the vehicle had NO Grease zerts to lube the suspension and stearing parts. I was told that the replacement parts (once the origional parts wore out) came with grease fittings, but that the Factory put no grease points on the origional parts. This seems crazy to me. Anyone got an answer, or explaination for this? Any alternative to waiting while your car parts wear out from lack of lubrication?""



I saw this somewhere...could it be something just wearing out???

This is true most factory ball joints and tie rods come prelubed and cannot be serviced....this is good and bad.... they also use slick plastics in the socket which do not require lube and don't make squealing noises when dry. If you think its a bad idea listen to most mid 90's fords trying to manuver in a parking lot.
