98 Impreza L 163k miles, high pitched whistle


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

 

 

Welp we have a 98 Subaru Impreza L with 163k, I purchased it with 159k put the rest on in about 1.5-2 months with 0 problems. So today I'm tooling around and I start hearing this high pitch whistling coming from the drivers side tire area, when I hit the brakes hard it stops until I get going again. I was a little rough on her this afternoon but nothing excessive before I started hearing this permanent whistle, seems I may have heard some type of noise earlier just didn't realize. Ok I have no expertise at all really but I'm guessing maybe a wheel bearing??

 

 

I would greatly appreciate it if someone with some knowledge could clue me in on what to check or replace.

Hrmm, don't think so I thought it might be breaks but I had it at the shop about 2k miles ago and he said lots of life front and back. It did make some type of sound when I hit the break a little bit ago when I went to get my wife.
