hey every body,


I have a 2006 Stratus SXT, 25K miles on it.

Since this morning noted front, grinding / rumbling noise towards the front.
Only occurs while the car moves, as I accelerate from 10mph the noise becomes faster like .. RRRR RRRR RRRR RRR.... however it is constant as car increases in gear, it just goes faster.
If I turn the gear to N while moving the noise continues.... I does NOT have relation to the gear I am on, only the speed.

Basically is low intensity "grinding" noise, faster as the car increases speed

Does not occur while standing.. did not find differences turning right or left...

ANY IDEAS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.

THANKS,

 

Front wheel bearings are toasted

 

Yep, could be wheel bearing or a bearing in the trans. Even though you shift to neutral, alot of gears stilling turning in the trans. Need to pin point it before you buy any parts.

 

i would agree that you have bad wheel bearings..
i suppose that you might be lucky and its a brake issue, but i doubt it.

 

I bet it's the right front wheel bearing. That's the one that went on mine, and I've seen some other posts where that one is the culprit.

It's a relatively easy fix.
