How do I know if my cv joint or whell bearing is bad? I hear a grind sound and a vibration when I turn the wheel to the lt. not so much going straight or to the rat. I have a 2007 Pontiac torrent awf

Try this.
Jack the car up and rest it on axle stands. You will be shaking the car so you will need it to be safe.
To test a wheel bearing. with the wheel off the ground, grab the wheel top and bottom. Rock it hard back and forward. Then grab the wheel at left and right. Again rock the wheel left and right. If it feels solid it's not likely to be the wheel bearing.
For the CV joint, lower the car and find a large, safe open area to drive in. Turn the steering hard left and drive at about 30mph in a tight circle. Do the same to the right. A CV joint will give a constant "clonk, clonk' noise.
A wheel bearing will make noise that isn't affected by steering but will change with speed. A grumbling, whine noise.
Worn CV joints only make noise at a full hard turn. All the way left / right with a little bit of speed.
Comment below please if this helped.

What might be experienced by transaxil/transmission bearings wear? Rumbling or vibrations?

Kia is bad with wheel bearings ;.About 80 to 100k they start going bad. You have to check them physically with a dial gauge or know how to inspect them in other manners. They cause a rumbling sound when they start to go bad.

1999 Lexus RX300 left rear wheel has a rumbling noise sounds like cv joint or bearing its all wheel drive.

Spin that wheel by hand as fast as you can. If you can hear the noise coming from right behind the tire it's probably a wheel bearing.

Rught rear wheel has loud rumbling which gets louder with speed.

It is either the bearings or the cv axle. If the noise gets louder or softer when going around hard corners, it is the bearing.

Alot of road noise from front of car, suspect cv or drive train issue , As speed increases noise gets louder. Engine runs smooth, new tires 6mos. ago, alignment good.

MOST LIKELY CAUSE OF THIS IS THE WHEEL BEARING, DEFECTIVE CV JOINTS ONLY MAKE NOISE IN TURNS AND THAT IS A CLICKING NOISE,.

My car makes a loud rumbling noise when i accelerate and gets louder as i go faster, if i turn my wheel slightly to the left all the noise and vibration stops and it sounds normal again

I believe the bearings in the front wheel are about to come to the end.

Is this rumbling wheel bearings or transmission?

If the sound is all the time, no matter what you are doing then it is the Transmission going bad. CV Joints, Wheel bearing will only make the noise when in rotation.. Also remember that this is a front wheel drive car, so it will throw you off thinking it is the wheel bearings or CV joints due to the front wheel drive
