Whirring noise at low to medium speeds

I have a whirring noise at low speeds but when I do 60 or higher you don't hear the noise. I just had tie rod ends (upper and lower), front wheel bearings, front shocks, front and back brakes and rotors, rear axle seals and rear differential seal replaced. When doing rear end work my mechanic said he tightened the yoke, but thought he might have tightened it too tight. Could that be what noise is coming from?

Diff does not need to be removed to change axle. If you are good at this stuff, you can figure your way through it, or get a manual as a guide (haynes etc. are OK for this stuff) Axle is held into carrier by a "c" clip so you do need to remove the cover and spider gears to get it out (not difficult) If you run into a problem, someone here will surely help!

You will have to remove the differential cover on the rear end, in the center of the gear cluster you'll have to rotate your axle until it exposes the ends of the axle shafts, push in the axles as far as you can from the brake pad assembly area, then, there this a C clips that slips into a groove on the end of the axle, you'll have to reove the C clip to pull out the axle.

Your front pump in the transmission could be going bad. Check the transmission fluid for level and condition. The fluid should be bright red and not burnt (dark in color like burgandy). Best thing to do is take it to a transmission shop and have them check your truck for DTC codes with a Tech 2 scanner and have them do a transmission line pressure test. The whining can also indicate low on transmission fluid and that's bad, you may have burnt some of the clutch packs already and shorten the life of your transmission. Good luck and keep me posted, be glad to help.

Whirring noise when car moves

Hello Matt Panek,

Any chance you have a POLICE chopper following your every move??

Whirring ... Seriously? (might mean you overdosed).

Could be a loose fender liner... or maybe a wheel coming off and EVERYTHING in between (wheel bearings or dragging a kid's tricycle).

When everything is bolted down, clear and working fine ... there is nothing finer than the freedom of driving your car...

But when they start making strange noises...
They can be QUITE DEADLY.

A part coming loose... or even a plastic bag sucked into an air intake can have fatal consequences if ignored.

If you cannot immediately find the cause of a trouble...

Muffler shops, mechanics & service stations would love to have you visit...

Don't risk SAFETY... when all the FINE FOLKS are
just waiting to help (sell lots of things)...

Listen to what they are telling you...

A loose muffler bracket can save your entire exhaust system if addressed early... but that same MUFFLER CAN KILL
PEOPLE in the car behind you if it FALLS OFF at freeway speeds.

Be safe... Always check out & resolve NOISES before
endangering yourself or others

Don't know what the "whirring" is, but you NEED to find it. The only reason your temp. goes down at higher speed, is cuz more air is rushing past your car, cooling the engine and radiator. Careful you don't burn up the engine! Find the cause of the overheating, probably related to the sound you hear, or caused by overheating, even maybe causing the overheating. Take your time and work on it or have it serviced. Start by checking your coolant level. Good luck.

I am hearing a noise, like a whirring sound that speeds up with the acceleration and makes no noise when in park. Does this sound like cv joint trouble?

a whirring sound can be a bearing on a component under the hood.(power steering pump,alternator,idler pulley bearing,etc),it can also be a serpentine belt from a worn belt or belt tensioner a cv joint won`t make a whirring sound(it will cause a clunking noise or a vibration).

Power steering, there is an audible noise while turning, is it out of fluid or a problem with the power steering hose?

I have the same problem. I hear a whining/whirring noise when parked, turning either way, and even when driving at slow speeds. The noise gets worse when turning at slow speeds :(

Braking, the vehicle shutters. also, whirring noise at low rpm

Could be a fan clutch. It allows the fan to "slip" up to speed and can make a wind noise untill it gets up to speed.
