a wheel bearing can make a roaring sound from the rear wheels feel the tires for a rough tread if they feel smooth then jack it up and spin the rear wheels you might hear the noise while spinning by hand
Bummer. What I do is in a vacant lot, drive the car and steer hard left, then right. The thinking is to load and unload the bearing on each side. Sometimes the noise travels and can mislead you. If the sound gets quieter on a right turn, it is the right side bearing that is suspect. Sometimes you need to put the car on a lift (ALL 4 wheels safely off the ground) and listen with a stethoscope....
Greg,
Sounds like wheel bearing issues. I've had my front wheel bearings replaced twice on an 02 Vue AWD V-6. The 02-07 Vues use the same wheel bearings and they are a known issue with these
cars. Another problem with these cars is the rear support bearing for the drive shaft in the AWD models. I recommend having the wheel bearings and rear carrier bearing checked out. Good luck.
we have a 2003 saturn vue which we installed new tires on and we noticed a noise about 6 months afterwards. it sounded to my wife and i to be loud road noise from the tires. the car was driven for 6 months and we decided the noise was annoing. had the tires checked only to find it was the left front wheel bearing which was replaced and stopped the noise.
Check wheel bering for play if there is no play , it doesn't mean that bearing is NOT bad its can still be dry and would be making that grinding sound you described Also check axle and see if boot is broken. That may be your problem also make sure that rotors are not gouged/scraped up and pads are good.Contact if you need more help and thanks for using FIX YA
