Is it the wheel Berrings

[7yphon]

I'm not sure what it is so im asking for info so I know what it might be. I have a Idea that it might be but not sure. Its a wooping noise comming from the D.S.W. and as far as I can tell you cant hear it from the outside its not always there so I took the wheel off to investergate but as far as I can tell its not rubbing. When I speed up it gets louder and more high pitched when in Nertural still here is when the car crusies to a holt. So if anywbody has any Ideas Do tell

cheers

might pay to jack up the car, and spin each wheel by hand, (as fast as you can while still being able to monitor for sounds) you may find that you'll innitially hear nothing, but compare the sound of each wheel and listen for the 'slightest' differences. Remember that on the road the slightest noises can be 'amplified' tenfold!!

That's a starting point!

I've recently replaced my front wheel bearings, now the rear ones are getting irritating!! They'll be done shortly!! (about $250-$280 both fronts).

Funny sound, like the 'modulation' of a twin engined turboprop aircraft in flight!! Not at all metallic though, more a dull whoop, whoop, whoop sound that is proportional to the speed of the car. Thought it was tyres at first!!

Give it a shot, and respond on what you see (hear!!)

Mark.

When my DS wheel bearing was done up too tight my bearing ground badly but only when turning one way. This might be a tell tale if this is what has happened.

Have you checked to see if it's your rotors? Might be an idea to jack it up, take of the wheel and see if you can spin the hub. I spose if this doesn't do the noise then maybe it's the hub cos the weight of the wheel isn't on it anymore. If it does do it it might be the brakes. Hope you have good hearing

Good luck.
