front end vibration
I just started noticing a vibration type of noise from the front end of my 99 S70 AWD. The vibration pitch increases with speed and is especially noticeable when I turn the wheel to the right, and it almost disappears when I turn the wheel to the left. The noise is a constant hum, not like a rotational noise where there's a pause as the tire rotates around again. I hope this is descriptive enough...
Last time I had the car serviced, they noted that I had a loose right tie rod. Could this be vibrating and causing the noise? I also just had the tires replaced a month ago, but hadn't noticed this noise until this last weekend... Any suggestions would be very helpful before the mechanic starts giving me a laundry list of things to fix. Thanks!

Same situation here. I have a loud hum while driving but gets louder when i turn right. I just had 4 new tires put in with both front and rear alignment. Last time this happened to me in my other car, it was the bearing.
I had my tires changed at Town Fair Tires. The guy inspected the car and told me he didn't see any movement in the wheels. So I was thinking if it was a tire rod it would have been obvious to them. Bearing on the other side is not obvious all the times unless you're driving.
Any suggestions?
