I have a wheel-speed moan/howl that I first took for tire noise, but am now thinking is a bearing noise. Seems to only show up after a drive at freeway speeds. Doesn't change based on turning or on/off the brakes. Does it in all gears, clutch in or out. Just loud enough to be heard over the engine with the windows rolled up.
I think I've ruled out wheel bearings, since turning and brakes don't seem to affect it, and none of the wheels show much play (just a bit at the fronts, none at the rears). Diff bearings? Pinion bearing? |

QUOTE(lapuwali @ May 1 2004, 08:04 PM) I suppose I may have to admit defeat on this one. maybe something else is loose and starts vibrating at speeds. i was chasing a low-pitch "hum" for a while and couldn't find anything wrong. turned out to be the engine-lid! the build in spring is strong and presses it against the lock tight but at a certain speed, it would "hum" (not rattle!) ... drove me nuts until i found it, some small adjustement and voila! now i can hear all the other noises again <_< Andy |
