Noise coming from right front wheel....

I noise coming from right front wheel....been told it's the break, which was just replaced or the hub; Apparently there is a hub/bearing problem that many of this model have experienced. Experiencing also some jamming in 4 wheel drive. Should i go to a Kia dealer or find a mechanic that specializes in 4 wheel drive vehicles?

My Dodge Grand Caravan is making a humming noise as you accelerate, while turning left it stops but gets worse while turning right. I replaced the left front wheel hub and no improvement, I need help

if hub bearing replacement did not fix the noise

when noises are on left and right turns
that has CV joints /drive shafts
would say they are the issue
replace both sides

and replace the left hand hub bearing at the same time

I'm having the same exact problem as cpurdey with my 2004 Mazda MPV. My mechanic is quite certain it is not the wheel bearing or hub but seems to think it's a bearing in the transmission. Is...

If it gets worse as you're turning right, but not left - Most definitely a wheel bearing on the right side. The right turn puts more stress on the right wheel - louder noise - turn left and release the stress - no noise. You can also lift the vehicle up on a jack and listen to the wheel and hear the bearing in the hub making noise.

Gringing nose left front wheel. i have replaced the break pads roters calabers springs and struts and hubs still have grinding nose

Is this a front wheel drive car? If so, the noise may well be from a CV joint coming apart. Given the extent of parts you have replaced, not much is left. Also might look to see if something is rubbing on a part of the rotating wheel / hub assembly.

2008 siverado. Front-end humming. Sounds like extremely loud tire pattern noise coming from left-front wheel area, noise stops when i turn the steering wheel to the right. replaced tire with no results.

it is your wheel bearing. the bearing is a sealed unit so you replace the hub assembly. remove wheel,caliper,brake rotor.if it is 4x4 loosen axle nut. there are three 15mm bolts on back side of spindle remove these and slide hub out replace with new one. most hubs come with new wheel speed sensor so remove harness from connectors or if no new one remove the screw holding it in place to hub and slide out.

Sounds like your front axle is trying to engage but does not engage fully.check your vacuum going to the t-case switch and then if that is ok check your vacuum at the front axle actuator.It is located under the battery tray.

I seem to have a growling(noise is whup-whup-whup)-gets worse the faster you go noise coming from the front driver side.I initially thought it was the cv joint,but after replacement the noise is still...

Sounds like a bad hub bearing.If you sway from one side to another the noise should change.If you go left and the noise and the noise is still there then it`s the right side and if you turn right and the noise is still there it is the left side.You may also have both front hub bearings out.Hope this helps.Good luck.

Hope your mechanic is right cos that is a costly job. Try calling around your local parts dealers, aka Autozone, Advance, Oreilly for prices on parts.

Grinding noise front end.

I say it's the CV joints. You have to jack up under the lower A-Arm, to take the spring pressure off of it, to check them.

(Use jack stands, and wheel chocks behind the rear tires. Emergency brake On. Work on a hard level surface. Be SAFE! Trucks can be replaced, YOU cannot!)

CAR NOISE

hub or wheel speed sensor can cause noise. You need to find out if noise is constant or does it increase when turning left or right. have your outer joint checked in axle because they have been known to break.
