weird noises.

[Turbwhistle]

So lately while i am slowing down i hear a weird noise coming from what seems to be front passenger side wheel well. I am starting to think its a warped rotor, is only while decelerating but it doesn't only happen while breaking. If i let off the gas, it will happen. Its a lot easier to get the sound to happen while breaking though, i also read it maybe my control arm bushings. Also, while going up hills i hear a moan from the same place. Do you think it is the bushing, how hard is it to replace?

Could be a wheel bearing going bad.

I was thinking that but no vibration, at least not yet.

[the_pirate]

If it starts to vibrate you've got serious problems. Usually they make a loud groaning sound. Control arms make noises when going bad to, but usually its a knocking sound or squeaking sound when making turns.

fixed it. lol, i used my ratchet to throw my wheels on a few days ago and they ratted didn't cut it, i got a breaker bar and went over them good as new.

Loose wheel is never good…..haha

Ah, consider yourself very, very lucky.

Well i am going to bring this thread back to life.... i hope. The noise is back and it is not because of loose wheels. So the noise has been getting worse and worse, so i get a constent thud thud thud while drive no matter what. Weather it is braking, accelerating, cornering. I checked all my wheels and i can sense any slop.(pulling and pushing on the wheel to check the wheel bearings) I saw that i had some grease on my rear passenger side control arm, and wheel. My cv boot slide back a little bit. It doesnt seem like alot of grease go out, could this be the problem, i was told it could be my axle?

This may help.

Bring it this thread back yet again. I fixed my control arms, sway bar links, and tie rods, but i am still getting a noise. I can not figure out from where though. I keep trying my wheel bearings but nothing, i was told it could be my drive shaft support bearing. I am getting a hum in 6th gear, and i get a constant noise that i feel in the pedal, shifter, and in the wheel slightly. The vibration is not violent, but its annoying. I am bad at putting noises into words, but i will give it a shot. Maybe a woom woom woom woom woom. Please help me out.

Jack the front of the vehicule, both side, and turn the wheel by hand. If it's the bearing you will feel/ear the difference.
But I also suspect that it could be the CV joint.

You can inspect the CV joint by removing it.
You will need;
17mm Allen key on a 1/2 drive and a breaker bar,
A torque wrench,
2 clamps that goes over the cv boot,
1 quantity of CV joint grease,
1 axle bolt.

The whole kit, including the boot, is around 23$.

Unbolt the axle, then without the axle in place, reuse that bolt and screw it all the way in. The CV joint will pop out.
From there you can remove each ball bearing and the cage to inspect it. If the cage is cracked, you can experience the noise and the vibration, eventually it will brake in two.

But my money is on the wheel bearing.

It was the driver side front bearing.
