Recently started gettin a woom woom woom or woosh woosh noise i feel dumb describing it but i dont know any other way to do so lol. I have brand new rear wheel bearings drums shoes alignment last week and 4 new michelin tires what could possibly be the problem it doesnt kick it till about 65-70km/hr. And it sounds like its coming from the rear. Ots a 93 eg coupe. Thanks guys any help would be greatly appreciated.

take it back to the people that did your brakes and tell them that they should fix it

So you think its the brake shoes touchin the drums as the drums go around?

Your are hinting that the sound started happening after the brake job. If you're not sure pull the drum and inspect yourself or take it back and have the shop fix it.

could be anything take it back to the person who did the work and tell them it didnt make the noise before and now it is ... so its obviously something they did...

I had the brakes done about a month ago and there was no sound up untill yesturday is when i started hearing it.

dafreeeze

Like i said it only starts when im at 65+km hour. If it were brakes wouldnt it always be there if something was touching?

dafreeeze

Well its fixed now. Both rear wheel bearings failed one was toast and the other was on its way out i just had them done three weeks ago. So if you hear a woosh or woom in the rear end then its wheel bearings. Thanks guys

wow, new bearings taking a **** after 3 weeks?!

something isnt right with your alignment and/or install

dafreeeze

Fresh alignment one day before install of bearings, done by my legit mechanic torqued to spec with new michelin tires and rims. Oh yah brand new control arm bushings. 100 percent part failure. I hit no curbs or big potholes. I cant believe it either

A Tech who bangs drums off with a hammer will chip the wheel bearings from the shock and they will growl very soon after

ive beat several rear drums off with a hammer and have NEVER had a problem with messing up the rear bearings. they were not installed correctly or dirt got in the bearings when installed..

dafreeeze

Well they were installed correctly i watched him do it he cleaned everything before install and everything was done right so whatever it doesnt matter im not gonna debate or argue about wheel bearings bottem line they failed.. i appreciate the help

usually the wheel bearings will make a roaring sound. Glad the OP got it fixed though

dafreeeze

Ya my old bearings were making a crazy roaring sound thats why i did them. I just caught the replaced ones when they were whining

sleepyaccord96

dafreeeze

Ive got lots but im not sure how to post pics

Hopefully the races didn't spin on the spindles (but that will usually cause a high pitched squeal).
