The front end noise is extremely loud when a tight turn is made right or left even with newly replaced tie rod and wheel bearings. It is a very distinct grind. Last week I began hearing loud thumping and rubbing noises from under the back end of the car. I cannot determine the exact location of the noise however it sounds as if the car will fall apart if I hit a bump too hard... no clue where to even begin
Check the u joints in the drive shaft or the rear end needs greased,or it could be going out.have you changed both the inner bearings as well on the front end?
SOURCE: grinding noise changes with speed stops when
Does sound stop when you turn LEFT?
Turning RIGHT puts the heavy load on the LEFT front wheel.
That initially STOPPED the noise, correct? So why did you change L?
Turning LEFT puts the load on the RIGHT. Did you change the RIGHT?
Let's say this:
If turning RIGHT stops the noise, it's the RIGHT one that's likely bad.
If turning LEFT stops the noise, it's the LEFT one that's more likely bad.
Make sense? Turning RIGHT loads the LEFT wheel; and vice-versa as the WEIGHT SHIFTS AWAY FROM THE TURN.
More than likely it is what some folks call a CV joint problem, not wheel bearings. Try backing up and then going forward to see if "clunking sound" or a sharp "bang" is heard. Wheel bearings and CV joints only work if smooth. Sometimes a BEARING RACE is bad. Also, a bad spindle / part of the CV joint / transaxle assembly worn or badly machined. If in a WET ENVIRONMENT especially, u may want to try marine grade grease or teflon-added grease.
Does sound come from POWER STEERING PUMP area?
Testimonial: "Great info. Thank You! "
SOURCE: have a thumping sound coming from the right front
possibly, or the inner wheel well(plastic) is looose, and it flapping when at speed
