hi all,
well, i had what i thought was the classic bad wheel bearing whine noise - it was on the driver's side front, noisy when going straight or turning right; goes away when turning left. so, it's the driver's side front wheel bearing, right? cuz turning left unloads it and it gets quiet? WRONG! i just got done replacing it, and the exact same noise is still present.
so what now? it doesn't seem to be what i have experienced w/cv joints, but is it possible? also, it's less noticeable when cruising 80mph - maybe it's just that the increased background ambient noise is making it less noticeable - it is still there. and, there's no vibration whatsoever; the car rides extremely smooth. (except the noise does seem to cause an interior trim peace to resonate sometimes.)
there's 177k on this box.
any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
thanks,
doug s.
