I'm having a noise problem with the passenger side front wheel area. I have diagnosed and replaced front and rear bearings on this car before, so I know what kind of sound to look out for. All control arms up front are new, and I have tried rotating wheels/tires.
Here's the story:
Noticed a whirring groaning sound that increased with speed and with weight transfer to the front pass side wheel. There was also a very slight loose wobble feeling in the steering wheel that intensified when transferring weight to the pass side. My pass front CV boot had been ripped for a while, so I figured thats what the loose pop like feeling was, and I also figured it could attribute to some of the noise as well... wrong..
Anyway, I replaced the front pass axle with a reman unit from napa, as I was in a bind. (I knew I should have went with raxles) I didnt notice any change in the symptoms at all. After doing this I figured it had to be the wheel bearing. I then replaced the wheel bearing. When pulling the bearing, I noticed it was warn and the hub had a little play.
Now I have a new bearing and reman axle up front. STILL getting the same noise problem.
Could the reman axle be bad? Where do I go from here?
