it does this off and on like every 30 seconds - like 2 minutes , doesnt matter if im going straight or turning . although when i take my foot off gas the noise will go away.doesnt realy matter what speed either although i think it might do it more he faster i go .. been doing it for like 2 weeks now. .it sounds liek a motorcyle or something drives past you. my axle boot had ripped and leaked all the grease so i thought maybe the joint was making the noise. today i changed the axle and the noise is still there. so im thinking could this be a bearing problem? ..the brakes are fine . everythign is tight with suspension. the car has 114k miles and i dont think it was ever changed.

but it's hard to say without hearing it.

I replaced the right front becasue my mechanic said it was that one... but the sound never went away. The rumbling noise comes when I turn my steering wheel to the right.

get the front (both sides) up on jackstands, and see if you can spot any place when tugging at the left front wheel.

I believe you'll usually hear the noise when the wheel is loaded. So, if you're steering to the right, the left side of the car is bearing more loads, which should make the bearing scream for mercy.

thanks! that makes more sense. I always thought it was the left one.
