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! |

QUOTE (jordisonjr @ Apr 28, 2009 - 11:06 PM)  I got it looked at by a buddy of mine who is a mechanic and he said it is the wheel bearing, but it is just starting to wear out, and thats why there is no play in teh wheel. He said its nothing i should worry abotu right now if the noise doesn't bug me, which it doesn't cause i always have my steroe loud anyways, and that i should let it get worse before i fix it. thanks for everyone who helped me out. I wouldn't go by this logic because I had the same problem and thought it was my brakes. I let it get too bad and the other day my CV joint and wheel bearing left my car spectacularly at 90 mph. I would say to fix it as soon as you can. |

In the superfluous and self-important words of Steven Weber (yeah, that DB from Wings - he has a blog and it SUX), that was said magnificently illustrative! (glad you lived to tell the story!) OP: I'd go ahead and get that taken care of. I've got a rear wheel hub if ya need one; it's used but it's in good condition. --------------------  |
