I have noticed on this forum their is debate over the sound of a rear wheel bearing thats failing.I have a high pitch squeel thats cycilcal and starts at around 30 mph,it will stop with a quick jerk of the wheel to the left.It is not brake related because braking will not affect the noise.I just changed the front bearings and am still hearing the noise.This leads me think its the rear bearings.I have read all the past threads on this subject and some people say bearings only growl when failing.My question is it possible that this high pitch squeel could be the bearing?

"Could it be cv joints?"
IME, the symptom of CVs going bad is a popping noise, that usually occurs when cornering. However, a GOOD CV that has lost all of it's lubricant might whine. Check to see if the boots are all intact. Stu |
