dltrial Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 My 91 Loyale has a noise which sounds to me like road noise. It starts at about 30 mph and gets louder as I drive faster. It doesn't seem to 'speed up' as rpms increase like a bearing noise. But it does get quiet when I turn right sufficiently sharply, which I have seen with bearing noise before. The noise may be in the front end since I raised the front end and ran the engine with the car in gear and it seemed like it was making a noise but not nearly as loud as when driving. It's not the tires, since I put different tires (on the front) and the noise still exists. I can't feel any heat in the hub area after driving which I might if the wheel bearings were going. What else can I do? any suggestions are welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee2 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 raise the wheel off the ground. grab the tire at the 6 and 12 o'clock position and rock it back and forth. If you feel any movement or hear any klunking, it's a bad bearing. If not a bearing, put a pry bar under the tire and lift up and down. If you hear a klunk or feel any play it's likely a ball joint problem. Could also be an axle problem. If you start to hear any clicking sounds when driving or turning it's the axle. Could be a brake related noise but not enough info to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
