If you have a bulge starting in the sidewall you will be able to hear it as it rotates. If you keep driving on it, it will blow... If your wheels are out of allignment the tires will wear un-evenly, for instance go bald on the outside. You may hear this as well.
yes they sound like 4 wheel drive mud tires when bad you can tell what side is bad by turning the wheel slightly to the left and then right while going straight
The loud drone sound is from the wheel bearings. I had to replace the two front wheel bearings on my 2004 Mazda3 2.3. try rotating the tires first, because a bad tire will sound almost the same. I also have the same problem. I did rotated my tires but find out all suspensions need to be replace. Bad suspensions cause tires to cupped and make those drone noise.
A bad Tie rod usuallydoesn't SOUND like anything, but some good indicators that you have a bad tie rod are incorrect alignment, and uneven tire wear on your front tires.
My van has bad tires at front and better ones at rear, should wheel alignment be performed with bad tires?
Does it pull to the side? It may be your tires. Bad tires. Flat spot on the front tires. Try to rotate your tires. And see what happeneds.
You have one or more tires out of balance.
On Front Wheel Drives, when the CV Joint is going bad it will do this because the joint is not wearing out and when turned you get a clacking sound. I believe it is the CV joint opposite of the way you turn that is bad.
Tires out of balance, Bad tie-rod ends. Steering stablelizer shock, Bent wheel, Belt broken in the tire. Bad idler arm. I would have the front tires balanced first.
it can be your alignment, check your tire pressure, make sure the tires arent in bad condition, or out of round.
Yes.
The bearings might be bad in the alternator.
Perhaps bad tires or bent rims bad axle shaft? swap front tires for rear to see if problem persists
