      Sometimes they can give a wobble noise before the howl. Mine came on after getting all new tires. The heavier new tires were the straw that broke the camel's back and immediately brought on the noise. Naturally since it cane on with new rubber, I was convinced it was from a defective tire and so was my mechanic because we couldn't get any noise or movement on the lift, but it was very loud while driving We rebalanced and rotated the tires. The noise was still coming from the same spot. So I gambled and chaned the bearing. Problem solved. And even though it did not make noise while spinning the wheel on the lift, when we got it out, and spun it on the workbench we heard the grinding. Go figure?

    2013 Tahoe 4x4. I get a howling starting at 55 up to 65. Sounds like its coming from the front pass. Everything up front feels tight. No noise just rolling it. Front differential oil was dirty but found no metal.
    Also have a bearing noise from the front when on the accelerator in 4x4.
    I can't seem to find it yet. Newer wheel bearings before we bought it. Maybe one was China junk

    I bought TRQ front hub and bearing set for my Chevy 2500HD, from you folks. Put them in to specs. Now 2500 miles later they are whining like crazy. Have not yet started to wobble thank goodness. They were replaced under warranty, but I'm afraid to put them in, I don't want to be doing front hubs every 2500 miles. Probably end up spending more and put in moogs.

    What happened to the old style, when did they go away? You know, you remove the nut, cover, and pull out the bearing, grease it in your hand, and re-put it back in, install the nut, turn it , and cotter pin it? > When did they go away?

    Can anyone give me an opinion ?
    I have a 08 ford focus and it’s making a rattling noise off and on with a few seconds in between stopping and starting I can barely feel it but I can hear it and it’s not very loud but noticeable and it only happens when I’m going between 65 to 75 mph but I’ve jacked my car up and checked everything and all seems to be tight and In order. But I do have a warped rotor could that cause the rattle at highway speed ?

  • @billydenham9313

    2012 Chevy Silverado 1500 5.3l LTZ has a humming noise in the front, so I replaced the driver side hub assembly, but the humming noise is still there. Funny thing is, it sounds like it's coming from the center of the front not where the wheels are. I don't like guessing because that's what I did with the hub assembly. This roaring sound is a constant sound that starts around 20mph and doesn't stop at a higher speed. Is it possible for it to be coming from the front differential or is that out of the question? The truck has 140k miles on it, but it's been treated nice over the years. I've checked all the fluids in the truck also. I've tried to pin point this sound by rolling up my windows and listening to it. It has me puzzled because I thought it was coming from the driver side, but it sort of sounds like its coming from the center of the front wheels. It's one of those traveling sounds. Let me know what you think.

  • @ST1300ful
    @ST1300ful Рік тому +1

    I love your videos. I had my CV axles replaced and afterward, I did hear howling noise at high speed, also at 40mph there is sound like a distant helicopter. I believe they probably over torqued the CV Axle nut. I noticed less MPG and the car at hwy speed did not coast like it used to, it slowed quickly when off the gas. So I think my wheel hub/bearing is damaged. Over time it does seem to have improved but not normal. Is it worth loosening and re-torqueing the nut or is the damage done.

    Over tightening with a impact gun will also set your ABS light on that hub. I found out after 6 months of trying to diagnosis my ABS light. Replaced a CV axle and tightened with a impact gun on the axle nut . Squeezed the axle into the hub and threw off my wheel sensor and tire speed. Lesson learned. Also you should replace your axle nut each time you remove it.

    Ive had my rear brakes replaced and asked for an inspection to make sure nothing else was needing fixed i was told everything is ok, private mechanic. I've had my back tire fixed and asked for an inspection to make sure everything is ok. Goodyear . Went to Subaru dealership 2x , one for a transmission fix. Got an inspection.. Was given green light , came back a 2nd time cv axle broken , inspection... Green light. This month my car has been in the shop inspected by at least 5. I'm still hearing a howling noise. I know people miss things. But this is not something mechanics would miss. 3,rd time at the dealership and they diagnosed my rear bearings. By this time I'm living in my car due to the money I've had to put in it. I' wish this was an easy diy fix.

It comes only sometimes and only when the road is a very little uneven. Anyone has any idea? I did 2 things the night before this sound came. first was I removed the strut mounts cap and put some silicon spray. and the second was I jacked up my car but the jack slipped and the car dropped on the floor.
