Loud Humming-noise/buzzing from right front wheel

Saab-Daniel · #1 13-10-04

Hi guys...
AS the topic says, I have a loud noise (increasing with mp/h)
coming from my right front wheel... I tend to think it's the wheel-baering, am I right?
Or could it be something else?
Opinions and advise thanks

Thanks a lot,
Daniel.

There isn't any obvious visual problem? I've seen people with mudflaps that were somehow touching the tire...

No, it't clearly connected with the tire... No mudflaps or the likes... Is there any way to test if it's a wheel-bearing, a cv-joint or so???

I am very sure it's the bearing. CV joints make noise when you turn the wheels sharply left or right; bearings make noise at all times.

Thanks guys, thought so... Just have to order a new one then!

HI there.

Definitely the wheel bearing - they can really roar when they go!

aleks.

What is the procedure for replacing your wheel bearings?

Thanks!

Search this forum--I recall a bunch of posts on this procedure
