Question
Hi,
My car is making a terrible noise every time a turn to the right or left. The noise is coming from the front wheels and it seems to be ok when i go straight. I hear the noise as soon as i pulled off my parkway in addition to the noise the car vibrates.I am afraid to go over 5mph for fears of the front wheels coming off. What could this be
It sounds as if you have a bad wheel bearing.When driving you can tell which it is by slightly turning the wheel left or right and the noise will increase, from there you can determine which side is causing the noise.If it is the same turning both ways you will need them both.
