My '02 sounds like a Cessna
I got a symptom I cant put my finger on but sounds like one of my front wheel hubs is worn. I already changed all shocks due to the fact they were all worn out and every crack on the road felt like a pot hole. Nice ride now. The problem I have is still having a vibrations from front of vehicle when driving on city roads and freeways. Really sounds like a prop plane taxiing down the runway. The humming and vibrations changes pending on the speed I'm driving. Driving straight or turning to the left, the hum and vibrations will remain constant at current speed. When I turn the steering wheel to the right between the 1 and 2 o'clock position (around the 1:30) humming and vibrations dissappears. Turning the steering wheel back the 12 o'clock position from the right turn, the vibrations and hum returns. This has been consistant for a few weeks. Nothing changed since then. Check the wear on the tires over the past weeks, even had them rotated. Even wear on all of them. No steering issues either. Any suggestions?
That would be the front hub bearing. I would recommend to replace them as a pair. Because you will replace one and then hear the same type noise coming from the other side.
Yes, yes, and yes! From personal experience it is your front passenger side currently. Replace them both and be done with it.
Good to hear! Glad this helped, i myself will be doing front and rear suspension soon (havent done this yet myself, will be reading up on it before I start.)
