strange noise when turning right
really strange problem started happening when I turn my 850 right and right only..
I get a very loud hum/whir... any thoughts |
RE: strange noise when turning right
Does this happen all the time? Slow or fast?
How far does the wheel have to be turned to make that sound? |
RE: strange noise when turning right
both slow and fast.. more fast then slow.. its fairly constant.
the wheel only needs to be turned a few inches to notice... I have already checked the wheel well from obstructions.. or loose inner fender.. but it doesnt sound like plastic |
RE: strange noise when turning right
I want to say wheel bearing but it doesn't sound obvious.
Check the tightness of the lug bolts. Jack up the front right wheel, turn the wheel to the right and spin the tire by hand. Also, pull on the wheel to see if there is any play. |

Also make sure the Axle nut is torqued properly.
|
RE: strange noise when turning right
will check..
thanks |
RE: strange noise when turning right
lugs and axle nut were tight.. any other thoughts?
|
RE: strange noise when turning right
Did you get a chance to spin the tire by hand in neutral w/ wheel turned to the right?
|
RE: strange noise when turning right
Maybe Bad wheel bearing.

well no sound.. I turned the wheel to the right and tried.. nothing either. How would I check for a wheel bearing? The car also needs a balance.. as I am getting a vibration from the front.. or this vibration might be from the noise? |
RE: strange noise when turning right
The wheel bearing usually makes a humming noise when it goes bad.
Make sure all bushings and swaybar links are good. |
RE: strange noise when turning right
I'm tempted to agree with Tech ; wheel bearing
|
RE: strange noise when turning right
VERY EASY to check wheel (hub) bearing. Simply jack up the front of the car, with the transmission in neutral, take one hand and hold on to the spring while spinning the wheel with your other hand. If you feel any slight vibration, it's bad or going bad. A good hub bearing, you would not be able to feel anything on the spring. Also, check your CV joints just in case if you suspect the axle.

I had the hubs done by my dealer three years ago when I bought the car...
any idea on how long these last... should I even bother talking to the dealer.? |

RE: strange noise when turning right
no its deff not a clunk.. the boots looked good and intact... its a metalic whir... and the more i think about it it sounds like my jeep hubs when they go bad..(that I offroad):D
|
RE: strange noise when turning right
Well, Could be a bad hub bearing then. Check that first.
|
RE: strange noise when turning right
How about the tires?
They aren't feathered bad are they? |
RE: strange noise when turning right
tires are actually feathered and irregularly worn..
|
RE: strange noise when turning right
That would cause the noise as well.
If the backs are better try swapping then driving and see if the noise is gone. |
