I have a 1998 chevy silverado 3 door when driving it makes a whinning noise i thought might be wheel bearing but when gas is let off the noise goes away, and when turning it feels i have to pull the steering wheel to get the wheels straight again, like its leaning too far. and theres play in the steering wheel

check alt bearing,open hood & listen while running,turn off engine and remove drive belt then start engine to see if noise goes away.

bad bearings will do strange things, check your front end for play

I would check for a bad wheel bearing on the rear, also check the u-joints on the drive shaft.

Sounds like the wheel bearing..Jack up the vehicl and move the wheel up and down..There should be no movement

does it get louder above 45-60mph? and much quieter at low speeds. It could be wheel bearings, a rear differential or front differential. If its a grinding humming noise its wheel bearings, listenin to see if theyre coming from the front or rear, left or right, or both when your driving to know what wheel bearing are bad. If its a whinning noise, its probably a differential. check and listen to hear if its coming from the front or rear. Also, check for loose plastic around the wheels. Lastly check your tires for uneven or choppy wear. move your hands front to back on the top of the tire. does it feel really choppy and rough, maybe you just need new tires

you need a might new hub internal bearing wiped out the seal goes and grease escapes and then bearing goes check for oil around both left and right hubs or check axle oil level and oil around housing

you have a wheel bearing going out. see if it gets quieter if you turn one way or the other that will tell you what side it is on

Usually the strut bearing will make this noise upon turning a corner and hitting a rut or pot hole when turning. A wheel bearing will make a low pitched whinning sound constantly

it is almost impossible to solve without hearing it in person, but some things to check are the front brakes, front wheel bearings, tires, and loose suspension parts.

Hello,
Be sure that the joints on your front driveshaft are in good condition, hope this helps, good luck
