Front wheel noise

samd007 · 02-06-2007, 03:06 PM

We have an 02 GC with 60k mi on it. It is my wifes vehicle, she has told me about a noise from the left front wheel that sounds like "geese" when she hits 30 mph. the sound goes away at 25 mph. It stays if the brakes are applied and if you turn to the right or left as long as your going at least 30mph. I checked the vehicle in the garage at home to see if it was engine noise while parked but no noise. Any ideas? Thanks

Sounds like a bad wheel bearing. Best prices ive seen are on ebay. Ive run the ebay one both sides for about a year now and they have been holding up fine. Where one side is wearing out the other is probably not far behind.

If it is indeed the wheel bearings I bought mine through Napa for $125.

Thanks guys, it was the bearing. I got one at Advanced Auto for 79.00 2 hours later it was done. I appreciate the help.

so to replace the wheel bearing you hav to replae the cv axle? Mine i just bought from ebay -- both sides and now i'm hearing this same noise!!!!!

Nope, the axle shaft and wheel bearings assembly are different...you can replace them independently.
