I am hearing a 'wwwwrrrrr' sound on my back driver side wheel. (sounds like a ruff snow tire, but a lot more noticeable) at first i thought it was just a worn tire (the back tires are pretty worn, while the front are in good shape) so i tried rotating the tires, just to see if that was the prob, and its not. Even w/ the alsmot new tires in the back, it makes the sound. also it goes away when i am making a left hand turn?. . . any suggestions on what it could be?. . could it just be an alignment is needed? bearing?. . anything quick i can check b/f bringing it to a shop? . any advice would be appriciated.

Thanks

 

Its your wheel bearing for sure.. I hadd the same thing... a loud humming and high vibration.. almost made me deaf. On my rear driver side. I brought it to my tire guy, he said it was feathering of the tire.. so I rotated my tires.. same thing... so i brought it to my dealer... they found out it was my wheel bearing.

 

did you replace your own?... ive never replaced one b/f but is it a job thats easy enough to do yourself?. . any special tools needed?

 

it has to be pressed in not really a diy job unless you have access to a press

 

i do work at a place w/ a small shop that does have a smaller press.. not hydrolic, but i wouldn't imagine you would need that much. Any good diy guides on how to do it?
