front end noise?
hi. i have noise in the front end of my 97 grand voueger 3.3 fwd. i hear it mostly on the pass side i thought it was the wheel bearing ,changed it nope same thing.its been getting worse now it sounds like the axle but it does this rubbing ,nocking sound all the time with a slight hum,gets way worse going around bends. usually if its the axle in my passed times changing them they click only on take off or turning ,this does it all the time ,the faster you go the worse it gets,nothing seems loose,its always been well taken care of oil sprayed no rust anywere.it drives and rides nice .i can feel a slight nock on floor( pass front )in time with the noise. any thoughts? thanks.

RE: front end noise?
Replace the axle shaft before it comes apart and tears something up or causes you to lose control. They don't always click when they are bad.
You mentioned that you changed the right front wheel bearing. Did you check the left side? I had a whining noise coming fromthe right front of my Caravan. I checked the right wheel bearing and it seemed OK, but Ireplacedit anyway. Still had the noise coming from the right front. I checked the left front wheel bearing and it was bad. Replaced it and the noise was gone.
With front wheel-drive vehicles drive-train noises can transmit throughout the front end. Check both sides!
