Hey gang....I have noticed a whiring sound around the back of my '73 2.0 that I only hear when near a K rail or a curb or something that reflecks the sound. I am not sure if it is just routine engine noise or an issue? Mostly drivers side. CV's are fairly new. No other symptoms but just driving my analytical mind crazy. Any thoughts? Thank you very much.

When my right rear wheel bearing was bad it sounded more like a howling sound. Turning one direction made it go away- dead giveaway for a bad bearing.
To rule out your tires you could swap the rears with the fronts. If the sound moves, you've found the problem. |
