Default Noise while driving please help!!!!!

K so I'm hearing this noise while driving and it just gets louder as you drive and when turning its even louder. Cv axles are good wheels are on tight just seems to be coming from the front. I know my inner tires are bad but never heard this noise before.

It's like a loud humming noise.


Also hub bearings are good. I double checked that.

The noise could be the bald tires there! First thing first, get new tires. Second, get an alignment.

Most likely your tires. You can also try swerving left and right on an empty street to test for bad wheel bearings.

I had the same problem, and it was my tires.
It can also be your wheel bearings, or if you have aftermarket wheels, you need to get hub centric rings!

So I got the new tires. Getting alignment Sunday. And it's definitely the wheel bearing hub assembly.

^Very good! Spray some PB Blaster on the hub bolts before going to work on them.

Good to hear! Any difficulties to mention with the install? Did you need a breaker bar/cheater bar/heat to break the hub bolts loose?
