I took a video this afternoon to see if anyone knows what is causing this sound. I have a dull roar at MPH above 35-ish. Tires? Bearing? Axle? Front? Rear?, right?, left? I determined that coasting gave me the best chance at recording the sound. So I found a hill and turned the video on.
At 30 seconds I top a hill then take a significant left hand curve and the roar goes away. Listen a couple times to confirm. Has anyone fixed this before? How can I trouble shoot something like this? In the video I assume that it is front since it goes away. Good assumption or not? This car/engine, etc... has 4400 miles on it... old tires, old tranny, new front bearings and bushings, a new right hand axle (both CV joints from Tangerine Racing). alignment all round. I guess the sound showed up a week or so back, best I can remember. Just last week I finished sound proofing and new carpet, so it is a bit easier to hear. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaGpgxC4iR4 |

Ok it has been a while since I have been under the car or even looked in the book. For some reason I was thinking the rear have wheel bearings AND the big one, which is the one that might be 40 years old. I was wrong on that... Rear has only the large bearing in the control arm.
I don't feel any play on the front wheel bearings, either side. Is there another way to TEST? Or should I just remove the hub and take a look. I am going to throughly go thru the front before I hit the rear. Sometimes you have to read the Cap'n's comments several times... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |
