Check wheel bearings are not failing or loose. Check that the tyre has been fitted correctly to the rim. There may be a ridge in the tyre just out from the rim edge . Check to see that this is evenly spaced around the rim. Check inside also . This is a guide to see that the tyre is evenly placed on the rim and is not held up on the bead. It causes wobble and because the tyre is not fitted correctly will not have an effective seal between the bead and the rim hence loosing air. Have a tyre shop check
I would look for where the box bolts to the chassis, there is a possibility that the chassis is cracked. I believe there are three bolts that hold the box on and have seen chassis crack there. Good luck and let me know.
The solution for that may be the motor mounts. Then get old and worn after a while and control the movment and stability of the engine when it is being used or accelerated. Have a look at them or have somone crank the engine while its on nuetral and see if the engine is moving in a twisting motion. Another possible cause may be warped rotors, tire balace, or wheel bearings.
Hi, if the big end bearing fitted within the con rod on the crankshaft fails it is accompanied by a knocking noise when the engine is running, when the engine is striped and the crankshaft is out, movment of the con rod in an up and down direction while grasping the conrod between finger and thumb indicates big end failure, youmay also notice while rotating the con rod that it locks up, more so in 1 direction. Visual damage bearing cage failure visible from within the oil cut out on the big end of the conrod, Crankshaft main bearing failure, the main bearings are fitted within the engine cases 1 left and 1 right, failure of this bearing would be movment of the crankshaft ends within the cases, accompanied by a rough vibrating sound.when running, Hope this helps paul
If you still think the noise is coming from the left side CV joint it would be more advisable to replace the entire axle as an assembly. For the time and effort it takes, you can usually get a rebuilt axle assembly for only a few dollars more than the CV joint and the boot required to repair one. You will need a large axle nut socket (usually 30 - 32mm) to remove the axle nut. The lower ball joint and tie rod will need to be separated along with the brake caliper and rotor, from the spindle. I would recheck the grinding noise before doing it. A lot of wheel bearings are mistakenly diagnosed to the wrong side. If the noise is loudest when turning left, most people would assume the left side wheel bearing is at fault. However if the noise is loudest turning left it indicates the right side wheel bearing is most likely at fault. Due to the weight distribution of the front end, turning left the weight all transfers to the right side, loading that bearing. Make sure thats not the case before tackling an axle.
Look at the belt while it is spinning. Is it wobbeling or spinning straight? If wobbeling , turn off vehicle and check it for wear and looseness. If worn replace if loose tighten if too tight loosen.
if while spinning no wobbeling of belt is observed, use a long screwdriver as a listening device and place it on the compressor. if you hear a whining sound its the bearing inside of the compressor. Time for a new unit.
First if the humming sound gets faster and slower as you go faster or slower yes I would say it is a wheel bearing.Second thing if you on the out side of the car rock the car side to side and hear the same noise have someone look at each sway bar link(the piece that attaches the bar to the suspension)to see for movement at each end of each link.the movment if found will let you know which one to replace.If no movment at the links check the ruber mounts that attatch the bar to the body or frame of the car for up and down movement.
