I have a 2007 Saturn Ion. While driving, there is a grinding noise that seems to increase with speed. The grinding sounds like it's coming from the front driver side wheel. I have already changed the wheel...

Your wheel bearings need replaced,just replaced both front ones on my car,Then you will need to have your tires balanced,rotated and front end aligned.Mine was coming from my front driver side,it was loud,replaced,then the passenger side was making a noise,but not as loud,now it is like new.

Driving noise, not from bearings

it could be center bearing, if its going bad it can also cause a vibration, make sure you have sufficient fluid in the diff as well, you can also get a noise and vibration from collapsed motor or trans mounts

I have a 2011 Nissan Sentra. It has developed a loud hum and vibration to the steering wheel from the front end .it has 180,000km. Any ideas?

How are the tires? New? Old? Rotate them and see if noise goes away. Possibly front wheel bearing in the front drive axle where it goes thru the hub and rotor.......goes the noise get worse if you turn right or left slightly when driving it? If it gets worse on one side that is the side with the bad bearing.....replace as needed.

If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/michael_2496c4f07ad24453

I have a 2000 Nissan Maxima SE. When the clutch is not engaged (when the clutch is released) there is a loud noise when I am idling or driving. What is the problem?

sounds like the release bearing to me, and that would require re&re of the trans, may as well replace the clutch while you're at it

Scraping sound at very low speed (5MPH)

I have personally seen a lot of wheel bearings go bad on these vehicles. If you hear the noise get more pronounced when turning left, the right front (passenger side) bearing is most likely the culprit- if turning right, it would be the left front (driver side) bearing.

Hope this is helpful!!

it would not hurt to check rear tire wear due to misalignment
cupped tires will cause a faulty bearing type noise or humming.
