So I was driving today and my dad notice that the front end was making a weird sound. It gets worse as you speed up and its like a wa wa wa wa sound, thats abotu the best i can discribe it, because you can't really hear it from the driver side, so I'm thinking it has something to do with the front passenger wheel, possibly a wheel bearing.
The sound gets faster as you accelerate, and as you slow down it seems to slow down as well. Does anyone know what this could be? Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks. -Colin -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |

well you'd first check if the metal clip indicatoron the pad is flat with the braking surface of the brake pad.. if not, it means you still have some life left on them. if so, then it's your brake pads squealing and they're rubbing against the brake rotors. if your brakes are good, wiggle the wheel from top to bottom and if there's even the smallest play, then it's probably the wheel bearings..
but since you say that when you slow down the sound is still there, i would bet it's your wheel bearing..
