1999 Blazer front end noise

I have a roaring noise from the front of the vehicle that changes pitch when the steering wheel is turned. Thought it was the tires so I replaced them, noise is still there. What do you think I should check now?

If your turning your car to the right when it make the noise or the Left Listen and find out because which ever way the noise is loudest usually meaning that is the side going bad, Thats the rule Usually some cars and trucks have fronts and rear bearings, But I think it is a wheel bearing, Have a mechanic or a friend that may turn some wrench's Check it out for you. Hope that helps you out. :))

Have you hit anything with your bumper?
my blazer made that noise b/c i barely hit a pole in a gas station, it ended up being the bumper rubbing my tire, but it did make some ridiculous roaring noise

Replace front wheel bearing. Usually the passenger side wheel. This is a very common and company ignored problem.

Whenever I drive I continue to hear a loud roaring noise. Is this wheel bearing problem or is it something else

Quite often it is a bad wheel bearing, a lot of chevy's are notorious for them. A wheel bearing will usually create a growling type noise that is more prominent at around 40-60MPH. If its a wheel bearing you should notice a change in pitch when turning in one direction, for example if you have a bad right side wheel bearing it will be noisy driving straight ahead, then get louder when turning LEFT. If you turn right the noise softens. The weight distribution of the front end will be greater on the right side when turning left. Of course the works in the opposite direction. If the noise remains constant going straight and turning it could be a bad tire. Visually check the tire for pressure and bulges in the side wall. You didn't mention what type or model vehicle you have, because in some cases the rear wheel bearing could be causing the noise.

Roaring in front end

this is caused by a defective wheel bearing, they can get really loud, any front end shop will road test this foree and give you an estimate to repair, I urge you to have this checked ASAP as uit can cause the wheel to break off the hub if the bearing freezes up.

Roaring sound coming from front end as Mazda gains speed. Turning steering wheel changes the frquency of the noise.

You have a front wheel bearing that is making noise. Usually the one that is the problem is louder when turning in the opposite direction. If you turn right and noise gets loud then its your left bearing and if you turn left and the noise gets loud then its your right bearing. Understand that thats just a rule of thumb and that either bearing can make noise in either direction. Good luck!

Our 2001 Santa Fe has developed a roar. I thought

If your noise is a low pitch rumble that gets louder the faster you go, it likely is a wheel bearing that is the cause. Another sign that the noise is from a wheel bearing is if the noise tends to get louder when steering one direction at a steady speed, and quieter when steering the other direction. A transmission noise does not change with the steering.

NOISE IN THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL ON A 1999 SUBARU OUTBACK , BRAKES AND ROTOR HAS BEEN REPLACED

if the front brake pads,rotor and more importantly the caliper were all installed correctly, this noise is probably a front hub bearing that is failing. they will start a humming noise and then a roaring/growling noise the worse they get. is the noise rotational? by that it will get louder and higher in pitch as you increase the vehicle speed. get it checked out right away to avoid possible further damage.

Load roaring noise when driving vehicle

Does the noise change pitch when you weave the steering wheel back and forth. Possible front wheel bearing.
