A growl or rumble that changes pitch when you turn left or right would be a wheel bearing going bad. A bad strut would allow that corner of the car to bounce too much.
Bad tire, wheel bearing, bent wheel???
front wheel bearing bad on a motorcycle
there are a few causes for this, could be trailing arm bushings or any suspension part. check the upper strut plate it may be worn out. the strut is hooked to inside of tire, so if a upper strut plate is bad it will make tire loose. I just had a new strut plate put on, that was the problem. a bad wheel bearing will howl if bad enough. because a bearing on abs is very expensive to re place, check upper strut plate. the plate that is on top of strut in trunk. if the plate, it has to come off and be compressed to take off spring.
Most of the time you can hear a bad wheel bearing but the only 100% sure way to know is to remove the bearing and inspect it.Most of the time you can hear a bad wheel bearing but the only 100% sure way to know is to remove the bearing and inspect it.
Improper installation. Not torqued correctly. Torque to factory specs. Did you also replace the race on which the bearing rides? If not, this is your problem. A bent wheel, bad tire, or bad strut or shock can also cause a bearing to fail prematurely.
If you suspect a flat spot on a tire examine the tire closely. You should be able to see a flat spot. To determine if your car has a bad wheel bearing rotate the wheel. A bad wheel bearing will often make a grinding sound as well as feeling rough as you turn the wheel. A bad wheel bearing may also shake or wiggle. It will also cause a car shaking problem.
The way to tell if you have a bad wheel bearing is when you are driving and go into a hard corner. The wheel that is on the inside of the corner stops making a humming noise. I just replaced my Driver Rear bearing on my 2004 VW Gti
A wheel bearing could.
how do you find out if wheel bearing is bad on a 2001 grand am gt
Usually when a wheel bearing goes bad, it will begin to make a high pitch noise like a bad humming sound and the sound increases as the speed of the vehicle increases. Take it to a shop and find out if they will check it for you.
sounds like you have a bad hub bearing...you can jack up the front of the car and with one hand on the strut spring, spin the tire and you should be able to tell which bearing is bad
It is most likely the Wheel Bearing that is going bad.
