December 7, 200421 yr Ok, what does it mean to hear a deep humming sound coming from my wheel area when I turn the wheel sharply? Also, there's this 'Wooh, WOOH, Wooh, WOOH' (Not from the internet muffler whistle video ) sound as I'm driving along. It goes in synch with the wheels as I'm driving. The sound has gotten louder recently. It hasn't caused any drivability problems but I notice it.

I'll venture forth my opinion.... as I had a similar experience. turned out to be my front wheel bearings going out. it allowed enough movement that the rotor was hitting the brake pad (in a non-normal braking fashion of course) watch your tires for cupping/eneven wear....
December 7, 200421 yr You could have a piece of the plastic inner wheel well loose and rubbing against the tire? My Camry will do that every now and then in a wind. Are your lug nuts tight?
December 7, 200421 yr Jack it up and find out Check the whole tire for any deformations or tread seperation. Check for any play by trying to wiggle the tire twoard/away from you. Roll it by hand and see if you can 'feel' anything funny. Pull the tire off now and start visually inspecting your running gear. Make sure the castle nut is tight and all your hardware holding the caliper on and such. Good luck !_!
December 7, 200421 yr Author Jack it up and find out I would but it's cold and rainy outside. I don't have enough hair on my chest to keep me warm and the rain off me. Awe man, I just got these tires about a month ago. I'll get this checked out sooner than I thought. How much are new wheel bearings anyways? Part #? I see a kit for my car for $15.70 at ThePartsBin.com.

Sub hubs run 6207 bearings, funny that, same as my chief gearbox. Redskin.

December 8, 200421 yr Check your CV Axle, i just did all 4, its not a hard task, after inspecting the axle for torn boots or sloppy yokes, check for play in the wheel bearing, and disregard your book when it comes to replacing the bearings in the front, it can be done without taking the steering knuckles to a machine shop email me if you have any further questions, would be glad to help!
