So this problem has been persisting for quite a while, possibly worsening over time. Yesterday I spent like 150 bucks to replace the Front Passenger CV axle, tie rod end, and right wheel bearing/hub (I only replace the hub because part of the old bearing had fused to the old hub). The problem persists after all this.
Check brake caliper possible piston hanging up
Turning right and having a loader noise, means the left/drivers side is bad. Turn right, more pressure on the left side. and vice versa.
Testimonial: "I guess I get what you mean, but the vibration and the noise are themselves on the right side of the vehicle. There is virtually no vibration on the left side. Wouldn't that mean the part itself that's having the trouble would be on the right?"
The only thing left for vibration on that side is the tire. Struts will vibrate, only at high speeds and only when the tire is out of balance(Comes and goes). Struts usually pop and leak fluid. You have changed everything else.
I rotated the tires earlier this afternoon to zero effect.. True, the old front tire was almost bald, but the new fronts are in much better condition by comparison..
i think while driving it is very difficult to pinpoint where a noise is coming from. i agree with randy that the issue is most likely on the left side.
Fair enough, but the vibrations are very obviously on the right side.
I'm not an expert by any means, so I don't want to be presumptuous or stubborn. :\
Can an issue on the left cause vibrations on the right?
Like RD said. diagnostics for suspension work it hard. Some cars are worse than others. Driving down the road straight it is difficult to know which side is bad, or what is bad. The axle and bearing sound the same to a certain point, Then the noise gets so bad you can tell. It changes for each. The rule of thumb for side to side is. If you turn right and the noise gets worse, the left bearing(more weight/pressure on it) is bad and vice versa. For axles, this is tricky to tell which one, but you can know it is an axle. when turning left or right, the noise is constant, doesn't change. I usually replace both axles. But if you swivel the axle at both hubs, you will feel the flat spots in them. Only takes one hub to make the noise.
