brus brother Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 05 OB automatic 105K miles. Noise from front left. Dealer said it was tire cupping so I rotated front to rear. Noise didn't change. Goodyear Triple Treads with 45K miles on them. What else could be causing the noise? Is CV joint noise always a click? The noise is related to speed (rotation). Car rides smooth. I realize that noises are hard enough to diagnose in person no less on the internet, but thanks for any feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eppoh Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I had the same thing on the Impreza. It was a bad wheel bearing. Not a do-it yourself job for the average guy. You need a press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchwarzeEwigkt Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 +1 to bad bearing. I've had this happen a couple times, actually. Last time, I had to have a used knuckle put on because the spindle froze to the axle. Anyhoo, the most recent time I had a rumble and a squeal. I pulled the knuckle off, ordered a new bearing (and later a new spindle because the old one was murdered by the bad bearing) and took it to a shop in a box. They charged me a hour of labor to press it all apart and install the new parts. Cost me about $200 total, IIRC. Maybe a bit less, plus a few hours ripping the front suspension apart (again...)
