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.

it can either a bad wheel bearing or there is no fluid in the fron diff.check the gear oil level in the front diff. and the other is jack it up and see if there is play in either front tires
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
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
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.
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.
you have a bad front wheel bearing..jack up front of vehicle..put in neutral..block rear wheels..put 1 hand on front coil spring and rotate wheel..you will feel roughness in spring on side that wheel bearing is bad
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
Hit it right on the money!
Thanx!
