lift the car on lift end push/pull the wheel vertical. if find excessive play is your wheel bearing. run you hand on the tire back and for if you tire have bumps (every other thread) rotate tire across like X back to for.If the noise move to the front is the tire. Inspect you struts and suspention.

could be the wheel bearing, first check to see if the belts have shifte in tires, feel the sidewalls of tire for a buldge, also secondly switch front tire with back tire, could be the rim... if noise transfers to back then its rim..

put the front up on jack stands and start inspecting push, pull, tug, ****, kick whatever you have to do to find out if anything is loose under the front end if you can't find anything put the whole thing up on jack stands then with the help of a trusted budy have him/her start and put the vehical in gear let idle see if you can hear the rumlbing. then very carfully slide under the vehical and listen. use a vaccum hose as a mechanics stethoscope, or use a long handle screwdriver or prybar to put on suspect bearing housing and listen for the grinding noises.

If you are only hearing this clunking sound when you are turning then you need to have your cv axles replaced. Also known as half-axles. In a truck, these are known as the universal joints. You can take your vehicle to the local tire/front end clinic and they will tell you whether or not, it is worth the fix.

whining noise coming from front passenger side tire


Did u have your wheel barrings checked.If not the do it your self its easy just jack the wheel from below the lower control arm. spin the wheel any where u like if u feel it runs roughf it could be the barring is off. or if not then check for a free play in the wheel by placing a lever below the wheel and lifting it slightly.But be careful not do drop the car on ur self..It would be better if u posted complete info about ur vehical type and made to make further notes on it tc be safe..

its a wheel bearing. .will need to be inspected to determine the correct one. Also tires could also do this if the steel seperated internally. Rotate the suspected tire to see if it follows the tire.

the tie road end + rack end is the main proplem for making your tire wearing off
the noisy at slow speed coming from tire
you can check that by make the tire free by putting the car on the lift then you catch the tire from side and try to move it (in-out) if its move that mean you need to change even tie road end or rack end or both

This one really fires me up! First go back to Discount tire and "speak" to the manager. Tell him you want the actual problem fixed and that you want the cost of that repair subtracted from the cost of the tires since you didn't come in to buy tires in the first place. If he won't agree to that, DON'T pay them any more money to take pot-shots at fixing the problem. Take it to another shop but make sure to let him know that you'll be contacting his regeional manager, the BBB, and your local news papers consumer rip-off column writer. That said, it's very possible, depending on the miles on the vehical, that you may have a worn or bad ball joint or somehow something in the suspention has come loose, ie: pitman arm, control arm, shock, etc... The only way to know is to have a reputable professional inspect the front end.

most probably a torn lower suspension arm rubber bush that would not show up if the car was on a 4 post hoist
there is a problem there as the noise would not be evident if there was nothing wrong
different tire pressures will give different noise when hit with a tire lever ( a trick used by truck drivers to check for flat/ under inflated tires
good tire solid sound
low pressure tire a dull sound
