when i drive at any speed up to about 45 i hear a noise from the front passenger tire that sounds like its lopsided. when i get on the freeway it goes away, but when i turn the wheel to the left it sounds like a ps motor when its straining. the tire has the slightest bit of cupping. i know its hard to figure things out when you cant hear it for your self, but any guesses? i was wondering if an alienment would do the trick? the steering wheel does pull the the right a bit.


also on the side, has anyone heard of rocketeerperformance.com? i was looking at their strut bars they have for $150. any opinions about them?

 

First try swapping the front and rear tires and see if it changes.
You might have a bad wheel bearing or a bad tire.

An alignment will help with the tire feathering but not with the noise.

The strut bars are pretty good to have.

 

I use a EuroSport Tuning brace. It was $187.35 with shipping. It can be seen at www.eurosporttuning.com . These people, located in Canada are "good". I have the brace on a c70.

 

thanks reg. as far as the wheel bearing goes, how hard are those to replace?

 

The wheel bearing is not all that hard to do just takes time.You will also need a special socket.it is an inverted torxes.To remove the screws that hold the wheel bearing to the hub.
You will need to remove the caliper and rotor.Then remove the hub from the lower balljoint.Slide the axle out of the hub.Then remove the hub.

That is not exact there is a couple of other things you will need to remove.
