Howling noise from rear of SUV

Could be: drive shaft, wheel bearing, alternator, tire or....... Any vibrations? Location of noise? does it get louder with direction change?

find a new mechanic.

Your issue sounds like a wheel bearing to me. Remember if it is at all possible replace both.

sounds like a wheel bearing is it a type of howling noise if so its a wheel bearing

Have you tried adding power steering fluid or you may have a loose belt

Sounds like a bad hub bearing ! This is the bearing that the cv axle goes through ! If bad you will need in most cases to remove the k uckle and take to a machine shop to have a new bearing pressed in ! Some hubs are a bolt in which you can do at home !

You probably have a bad hub bearing.If you can change the noise by slightly turning the vehicle one way or the other it is a hub bearing.If you turn left and the noise is still there then it is the right front bearing.If you turn right and the noise is still there it is the left side.If it makes the noise both ways it could be both front hubs.Hope this helps.Good luck.

well did the noise start after the tires were rotated?could be choppy tires,,,if not ,i strongly think it sounds like a bad wheel bearing,,,,if you drive and while its making the noise turn left and right quick and see if the noise gets louder and which way turning makes it louder,,if you turn leftand it gets louder its usually the right wheels bearing as you are putting load on it, if it makes the noise louder while turning right its the left wheel bearing,,,got it

Could just be an idler pulley on a belt or bad bearing in the altenator

Did you check your Transmission fluid and your differential fluids make sure there up and I don't know if you checked your rear wheel bearings or not, You can usually tell a wheel bearing when you are driving the car at highway speeds and you go around a corner and it get quite a bit louder Depending on what way you are turning if your turning right and it gets louder it will usually be the right side front or rear. the left usually the left front or back. some cases I have even heard Axles making a Howling Noise. Please let me know what you come up with. And Thanks in advance If I helped you out any. Bear001
