Noise like a tire going flat starts at 60 mph and keeps getting loader until i stop. then goes away. replaced front tires & still makes noise sometimes. seems like right front wheel lot hotter than left side. replaced wheel bearing last winter. could it be defective?
would the car pull to the right if the brake is hanging up? when it makes the noise, the steering wheel doesn't shake or pull until speed gets down to 15 or 20 then steering shakes. after complete stop, goes away.would the car pull to the right if the brake is hanging up? when it makes the noise, the steering wheel doesn't shake or pull until speed gets down to 15 or 20 then steering shakes. after complete stop, goes away.
Heat at the wheel says your brake on that side is hanging up...could either be a frozen slide pin, caliper piston or the brake hose going to the caliper.Heat at the wheel says your brake on that side is hanging up...could either be a frozen slide pin, caliper piston or the brake hose going to the caliper.

Car will pull if brake is binding...as soon as your speed cannot overcome the amount of braking being applied. Be careful when examining it the rotor will be much hotter than normal. (sometimes will turn blue and warp as well)

I'd check the brakes and the wheel bearings. Just everything in the suspension on that corner. It could be a number of things, but I definitely wouldn't drive it until you check it out.
Try rotating your tires from front to back. It may help with the noise. Get a front-end alignment which can also help with the noise by correcting a "rub" sound that originates from the 2 front tires fighting each other for control.
The place which replaced your bearings is probably correct. When you get bad bearings they do not always fail evenly across the 360 degree turning of the bearing race. If you imagine a donut with a flat spot representing your bearing- as the donut spins with the flat spot cause by a disintegrating roller, the tire is bolted to the donut. The tire is going to hit the pavement differently every rotation because of the play in the bearing is at that same spot.
This play will create small cups in the tire shape at the low spot transmitted by the bearing. When you replaced the bearing , the marks in your tire tread remained. These edges need to be worn off. Or some tire stores can Shave a tire, in an attempt to make it round again.
If you have a normal size spare, you can put the spare on the left front side of your vehicle and see if the noise goes away. If the rims are different on the spare, you can have everything remounted and pay for rebalancing and put the unused spare as a front tire. Then you know the spare is at least good as a spare, but noisy.
A few possibilities.... bent rim, broken steel belt in tire, or a wheel weight that keeps the tire/wheel combination in balance has fallen off. Not sure how big the bump was, so other options would be suspension related. I would check the tire and/or wheel first.
I have a 98 Ponitac Grand Prix GT. Soon as you start going it starts roaring. Gets loader the faster you go till 70 mph. When I am turning to the right a little while going 60 mph the sounds quiets down. Only to the right. I have replaced both wheel bearings, got brand new tires, new brakes. Didnt stop the roaring. Would it be cv axles, rack & pinion, transmission, etc?
Usually a vibration is due to one or more parts that have become worn or damaged. I'm not sure why you mentioned the tires but don't disregard them unless you know that they are fine. Check for correct inflation (on the door jam), for uneven tread wear, or bubbles and damage. Other things that can cause a vibration is the front-end needing an alignment, a tire that is unbalanced, worn out steering components (like a wheel-bearing), defective u-joints and/or an unbalanced drive-shaft, or low gear-oil level in the drive-axle can cause damage to the ring & pinion gear. The damage would primarily be on one side. So when you let off the gas pedal the sound goes away. Check as much as you can and let me know how it is going.
Had the same problem. It turned out to be a rim out of round. Had to replace rims. OR could be loose lug nuts or improper lug nuts for aftermarket rims.
if the noise isassociated with "wheel speed" then it is in the rolling parts... axle hub bearing brake rotor caliper wheel or tires...if it goes away on right turns then you are unloading or separating the issue then...so a hub /wheel bearing /axle issue is most likely...does your brake pedal pulse when you feel it..(riding the brake while driving)..does the steering wheel shimmy ?
would the car pull to the right if the brake is hanging up? when it makes the noise, the steering wheel doesn't shake or pull until speed gets down to 15 or 20 then steering shakes. after complete stop, goes away.
