Usually a wheel bearing gets worse at high speeds. Take it for a drive in a parking lot. Left and right hard turns, with speed. If the noise get loader and softer, it's a bearing.. If the noise is consistent, look at the axle.

SOURCE: 2004 GMC Yukon Denali Awd humming sound in front of truck

The Denali's are really susceptible to front dif. wear and failure. Because it is AWD, the front dif is always working unlike a 4WD. GM, in order to lighten up the front end built the front dif in aluminum. If it was the same as the rear, it would be bullet proof, but much heavier. After about 80,000 miles it is common to have bearings failing. Remove the drain plug which happens to be magnetic. You may see more than just the normal fine filings. You will likely see larger chunks of metal some of which is not even magnetic but will drain out with the oil. You are likely looking at a $1500 rebuild. It will get much louder and run for a long time before it really goes south.

SOURCE: 2004 Silverado crew cab has rattle around steering

If you feel this rattle while driving at low speed or turning at low speed it is likely a worn out steering shaft coupler, it is very common.

SOURCE: Gas will not go in

You have an evap system that can check for leaks, and report to the system, as part of your emissions. Part of ths system is a vent soleniod. when this solenoid is bad, and stuck shut, the fuel tank can not vent, causing the fuel not to fill, or kick the pump handle off constantly, so The vent solenoid may be bad. Good luck...Coop

SOURCE: My son has a 2002

the grinding noise sounds like the axle shaft joints are no good and need replacing.also the wheel bearings could be so bad that they are causing this problem.i have seen where badly worn out brakes have made a grinding noise on turns.the tire squealing i don`t think is related to the grinding noise.check out the other things just in case it is changing the tire angle which could cause squealing.

Noise in front end 2002 zr2 blazer

Two things maybe your problem:1 .Front axle actuator to engage 4wd is not releasing. 2. Front axle u-joint needs replacing. Lift car on jacks with front end off ground. Then spin tires by hand as fast as you can and see if you hear the noise and where it is coming from ( spin in both directions).

2004 gmc z71 pickup on and off grinding noise left front when driving

Jack the wheel up and grab it at 12 and 6 o'clock. Try to move it in and out. If it moves then the wheel bearing is going bad and must be replaced right away. If the wheel won't move then take it off and check the warning scrapers on the brake pads. They are on the inside pad so use a light and see if they are contacting the rotor. If thy are then new pads are in your near future. One of these should solve your problem. Hope this helps.

99vw beetle gets really loud past 40mph, like a

Sounds like something is caught up inside or outside the engine/transmission where a part is grinding from something reciprocating. Does the sound happen when you apply the gas without the car moving? If the sound only happens while moving then it could be suspension or transmission related. If it only happens with or without the car moving as long as you control the gas then it's probably in the engine or transmission related. Could also be a wheel bearing issue, that will be a humming sound inside the cabin. As you speed up the pitch increases and the opposite happens when you slow down.
