hatchsub Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I have started to hear this humming/whining coming from the passenger side front of my car. The thing that throws me off though is its only if the car is moving, doesnt matter if the car is in gear and under load or in neutral idling, as long as its moving it will happen. But then as soon as i start to hear it, it vanishes. What gives? It sounded like wind the first time heard it and it still does but it never made that noise on this car before. It literally comes and goes like an on/off switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hatchsub Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 Hummm, new girlfriend? LMAO i wish. and as far as wheel bearings it would make noise constantly if it that was the case. This comes and goes only once in awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crash321 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I would agree with wheel bearing. Non serviceable bearings have an awful habit of showing up bad and showing the signs you are talking about. One day there will be no noise and the next you swear you hit the nieghbors cat.....over and over again. If you hear it in the front, it is easy to diagnose. Just find a safe road and load up the suspected bearing going about 30 to 40 mph, a gruff noise from the loaded side means bad bearing. What can happen sometimes where a bearing starts to fail is that it will be noisy at first but once it warms up it will quiet down. I would start saving for a new bearing. good luck!

ettev Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Could be the tire as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
