Hi all.
So I blamed my near bald tires for the awfull road noise...ALAS...brand new avon 550's to no avail.
shuddering at1-2mph.
rears same under full power or coasting
roars a little less on offramps
harmonic convergence at 81MPH...no roar
tires seem not to be wearing oddly up front
HELP??

old tires, got new ones and noise went away for 2 days and came back w/ vengeance. Turned out to be rear wheel bearing. Wouldn't think those could make that much noise!

turning left or right depending on which bearing (inner or outer) is involved.

Let us know if it gets louder or quieter when going left or right and when braking or not.

side of the car up and if you have a mechanics stethoscope, use that to listen to the steering knuckle to check for grinding noises with the wheel moving. If you don't have one, just spin the front and rear wheels and see if you can distinguish which one is making the grinding noise. Also, the advice to grab each wheel at the 3 and 9 o'clock position and check for play is good advice. If the bearing is so far gone that it's loose, you will notice.
