I hear this weird loose bearing sound when the cars rolling on the front driver side. It doesn't clank on bad road nor when im turning. Not really noisy too. Its just there when the car is rolling. I kinda hear it when im on neutral since i don't hear the noise from the muffler.

Also,... everytime i change lower gears ( or when i hear the driveshaft bite) i hear a very mild "tick" sound.


Ive had an experience changing the hub bearings inside the rotors on the driver side before and the noise went away.


Im just concern about the rolling bearing noise. Its not noisy. Really mild but just plain annoying. What could it be?

Im running on 225/40/18 with an H22A.

thanks!

 

wheel bearings
noise from the tires
maybe a CV joint

 

Can anyone tell me how to know if i have a bad CV joint?

Ive been trying to diagnose it and it seems that i just get the noise when the car is rolling slowly like 30-50 Kilometers/Hr. When I hit 80 to 100...its definetely gone. ( or the road noise of driving fast can be hiding the bearing noise. hard to tell too)

Turning the wheel while driving sounds ok. But when the car is still on cement... then i start turning the wheel, the driver side tire portion tends to make some weird noise too.

Help me out guys. I know this is cake for y'all.

thanks!

 

sounds like a cv joint, check the boots first...if they are torn than that is most likely the problem.

 

you mean damage boots can actually make these things noisy?how and why?

I also see some grease inside my rims.

How tedious is it to change boots? take out the axle or something?

please explain. Im an idiot in suspension.

 

Hey guys!

Will the axle need to be drop to change the wheel/hub bearings inside? any DIY tips here? thanks!

 

If the boots are torn then there is a good chance that A) The grease is leaking out, causing premature wear and eventually noise, or B) Dirt got inside and caused premature wear and eventually noise.
