have the whirring noise from one of them. i think its on the front driver side. i checked for play i nthe wheels all round and only one has any but its only a little. front drivers wheel has the slightest bit of play in it. allmost not enough to notice. that would still cause it to make noise tho wouldnt it?

the noise is really annoying me lol

 

i very well could be the berring but before you rip it out check the brakes, i had the same problem at turned out to be brakes

 

Is it just whirring or do you have some vibration as well? If so, it may actually be an axle. I just went through the same thing, it only ended up being the bearing, I could move my wheel slightly up and down but not in or out. Just my $.02.

 

could be the hub itself......good luck

 

sounds like it is probably your wheel bearing but check the brakes as well. an axle typically makes a clunking sound as you turning.
as for the comment about the hub, i don't know how the hell a hub would go bad.
my .02

 

I always forget to mention that the hub usually will go bad under EXTREME conditions, like track racing, and the guys who don't race usually don't understand what I'm talking about....Sorry, my bad, but keep an eye on the hub anyway because when they fail, it can be horrendous.....good luck

What he said. The wheel bearing, and if the wheel moves around, the hub.

 

to check the wheel bearing, lift the car up, spin the wheel with your hand. feel for roughness or unevenness. try not to mistake it for brake pads.

then check balljoints. shake the wheel in all directions, put some grunt in it. also push it up and down, forward and back. have a friend wiggle the steering wheel while you hold the wheel. if theres any play, locate it.

 

another way you can check your wheel bearing is by preloading it. go to a quite street and swerve your car and while your doing that try to listen to see if the noise gets louder on one side of the car while your driving the car. just make sure the radio is off and both your windows are open so you can know from what side the noise is coming from.

 

forgot to mention that. theres some slight vibration (very slight) and when turning left it goes silent but straight or turning right and its noisy. its not the brakes or axle (cv joint i think you mean) as i have a cv in need of replacement on the other side and it clicks when i turn close to full lock. also have a back brake caliper that randomly sticks and unsticks itself.

 

well we had a problem like this on my buddies car and according to raxles.com and other people, if it Continues "clicking" sounds on sharp turns usually indicates a worn outer joint. Usually the sound is loudest on the joint opposite of the turning direction. &lt;-- straight from http://www.raxles.com/axleparts.aspx other than that i would check brakes out, just take some time and take wheel off, check for play, shouldn't be any IMO and we had a another problem where the brake disc wasn't screwed on the hub and the lug threads wouldn't tighten enough leaving a gap between hub and wheel to let the disc move freely, sounds ridiculous and stopping was a major problem, very noticable shaking to, my 2 cents good luck
