On my 1971 914-6 when I reach about 15 mph I begin to hear a high pitch EEEEE sound about every half second. It sounds the same at 70 mph as it does at 20 mph. I can take it out of gear and coast and it doesn't change. I can hear the EEEEE sound every half second while coasting in neutral at 70 mph and it continues until the car slows down to about 15 MPH and then it goes away. It seems to be coming from my right front wheel area. Hitting the brakes doesn't change it at all. Swerving back and forth doesn't change it either. I removed the wheel and the pads are not touching the brake rotor. I spin the wheel and it doesn't make any noise at all. Any ideas?

OK... I am sitting whith a bunch of gear heads at my favorite coffee house.
Our prognosis.. REAR wheel bearing. Based on all the data you gave us. SO.... Put your rear end up on jack stands. Start the car in a SAFE PLACE. Then put it second gear and slowly hit the gas. See if the sounds comes back. Thats the best we can do with the data you gave us. I keep thinking we need to ask you more questions. Like... Does the pitch or regularity change at all??? If so... When? And.. High pitched noise or lower pitched noise.??? Twystd1 |

Twystd1 It is possible that the sound is coming from the rear. I haven't had a passenger to help tell me where the sound is coming from. While driving the car it just seems like its coming from the right front. I could be wrong. The pitch never changes. Its a very high pitch EEEEE on and off every quarter to half second while moving over 15 mph. |
