bill busch Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 For the past month or so, my Forester has sounded like an off road truck with big knobby tires ( making a humming sound) rolling down the highway. I just had my snow tires taken off today and was hoping that was the problem but it wasn't. When I get it up to 40+ mph I can hear a interior rattle coming from the back of the car. I don't feel any vibrations in the steering wheel. Do any of you have any thoughts of what could be the cause of this humming sound. Thanks, Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94Loyale Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 If it's a deep, loud humm. I'd say a wheel bearing most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoodsWagon Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) Replace it with a wheel bearing out of a legacy. The foresters used a ball-bearing rear wheel bearing while the legacys used a tapered roller. The tapered roller holds up much better.
