Thread: Whirl and wobble noise?

Sounds like its coming from the rear right side.
When Im going fast and turn hard left the noise seems to get louder.
If I turn right it seems to fade away briefly

Im not sure if the wheel is out of balance, or my less than 2 year old wheel bearings are worn out....

still happening....


had the tires rebalanced 3 of them were off but wobble is still present.

If new tires dont stop this , Ill be replacing all the suspension

If you pull the ebrake while travelling along (just firmly, not hard!!) and you get an increaslingly loud nose assosciated with vibration the longer you hold it on, then there is too much runout on the brake rotors which often means the bearings are going, or at the very least the rotors might need to be skimmed.

i tried to pull the ebrake along with lightly hitting the brake pedal while driving to see if that changed anything. and It did not affect anything.

Last weekend I used a stethoscope to listen to the hubs and the bearings all sounded fine, only noise i heard was the brake pads scraping the rotor (slightly in the rear)

So depending on how long the team dynamic wheels take at the machine shop to get back and put the tires on them... Only other thing i can think of is ball joints, but when the car is in the air, there is no play in any of the wheels even the inner tie rods dont have play....

which is why im hoping the tires have flat spots.

did you resolve this issue? im still having this same issue even with new LCAs,tie rod end, and a alignment. more of a rubbing vibration...

Did you check to see if the dust shield is rubbing against the rotor? I know I used to get that sound quite a bit when I turned corners a certain direction and it would go away if I turned the other way.

what was your problem?
I checked that, not it, its a feeling not just a sound i hear.

Ill know if it was the tires after i go swap them right now.

I was getting a squeak/grinding noise from the front. Usually light when pointed straight, but when I turned one direction the noise would get much worse while the noise would altogether go away when I turned the other direction. I thought it was the wheel bearings going at first.

I hope your tire swap has helped clear up your issue.

the vibration i was feeling did go away when i replaced the tires.....

but the vibration i get when I turn left at fast speeds is there, and its also there when im accelerating hard.

Im at a loss now, only thing i can think of is a strut is bad? or maybe the wheel bearing are bad even though they checked out fine when I inspected them on the lift.
Or something to do with the axles?

any ideas?
