I've got an EK hatch and the passenger rear wheel is crazy loud!! I thought it was the threads on the tires going bad (which they were) so I changed the tires. Now it's louder!! The noise is noticeable around 35mph and up. It sounds like a low grinding sound. I've checked to see if it's grinding against anything but I've got alot of clearance and know for sure it's not scratching anything.

One thing I did notice was when I drive on the hwy and the road curves to the right....the noise stops. When I go straight it's loud. When the road curves left...very loud. When the road curves right...noise is gone and car is silent!

What is wrong with the car? Is it the camber/toe? Is it the wheel bearings gone bad?

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Provided that you don't have any brake components rubbing back there, you probably have a bad wheel bearing.
