Terrible front end noise 2004 cavalier Front end tires sound like they're rumbling; however, I just had them rotated and no change. The noise wasn't there when the tires were installed.

Have your tire shop check your wheel bearings because that is the noise you are describing.

Humming sound while driving

if the noise changes if you swerve on the road it would lead towards a wheel bearing if it stays the same rotate the tires and see if the noise changes to the rear

When im driving the car moans and moans even louder when i turn the wheel, the faster i drive the louder the sound gets

You should check the power steering fluid level first. However, you said the noise gets louder if you turn the wheel. That sounds like a front hub bearing. To check the front and rear hubs, raise the tires off the ground one at a time. Try to move the tire in & out at the top, sides and bottom. spin the tire if you can. Only a tiny amount of play, if any, is acceptable. If you hear or feel rumbling or roughness when turning the tire, the hub is bad and must be replaced

WHAT IS THE PROPER WAY TO ROTATE THE TIRES , ON A 1991 CAVALIER

You always keep the tires on the same side and swap them from front to back. Rotate them about every seven thousand miles. If the front tires show any uneven wear you probably need a front end alignment.

Loud road noise in the front

Yes it could be a bad hub but to be sure it would need to be inspected.

Rumbling & grinding under front end

Watch out! You might have a loose wheel! Check those wheel nuts. If not, a loose brake caliper, or last if not least, a bad wheel bearing. Don't drive it until you find out what the heck is wrong! Could be dangerous.

Humming noise in the the front of my truck.

Did you try rotating the tires maybe front to back to see if noise disappears or moves with the tire? Otherwise maybe a wheel bearing.

Front end noise cavalier

hi, this sounds like track rod ends have gone this is for the steering and causes the tyre to where in one point these are cheap to buy and easy to fit but you will need to get the tracking set after replacing this part as it needs to be set to stop your tire wearing uneven the noise your getting will be from the tire on the road as it will be forcing the tire to run uneven so getting this checked would be my first choice.
Hope this is some help toy you let me know how you get on or if you have any questions ok
