For the last two days I have had a knocking noise near my right driver side wheel. Gets louder the higher my speed but doesnt make any sound if im accelerating or applying the brakes only when im cruising. Any ideas before I take it to the mechanic and he trys to rip me off. Almost sounds like as the wheel turns something slaps the under carriage.

 

wheel bearing

 

I hope thats all it is, My rear wheel is makeing a moaning sound around 30mph I thought thats what a wheel bearing sounds like. I could be wrong.

 

The wheel bearings are known to go on these cars. If you have the money it might be worth doing all 4 since its an item that needs to be pressed. It could be your tie rod in the front as well. All these are common issues tho

 

I think my front bearings or SOMETHING are going on my car. Every time I brake I get a strange clunk in the front. Feels like it's coming from both sides of the car, unless it's just my skid plate moving since I lost 4 screws for it.

 

Thanks for the replys at least now I have a little more knowledge when I go see the mechanic. Might attempt it myself if the price is ridiculos.

 

It's definitely something people do themselves.

 

nick ever replace your control arms? the commit suicide around 100,000

 

Yea think I will do it myself just gotta have them pressed. Anyone know who sells wheel bearings for a good cheap price.
