Need advice: droning, humming noise from front (40 MPH)
Emily Steed 31 March 2005 18:18:30
	Symptoms: After a out of town mechanic (I was on a trip) replaced the right front tie rod approx. 300 miles ago, started getting droning (sounds like high speed rubbing or vibration, but not a high pitched squeaking noise) at 40 MPH plus. On a level road, car is quiet if steering straight ahead, or turning left, but if I turn the steering wheel just 1" to the right, it sets up a persistent droning noise. If I return the steering wheel to the straight ahead position, the noise stops. Have done the following but droning continues: 1.Jacked up car to check for any rubbing when wheels and tires are turned to the right. 2.Replaced both left and right front wheel bearings. Any ideas or opinions as to what I should do next? Something to do with tie rods? CV joints? Can't seem to problem solve this one - would appreciate help. TIA -- Emily Steed Please post your response to NG, thanks.

	My guess would have been #2 . wheel bearings. Have you jacked up and wobbled the wheels to see if all your bearings and bushings are good and tight (not too tight ! ) and show no movement ?

Twitching the steering wheel about an inch to the right starts the droning, so may not be speedometer related. other ideas? Thank you. -- Emily Steed Please post your response to NG, thanks.

Emily, try this, I thought the same about my bearings, or brakes, but it was the speedo cable and speedo. Here's an easy test: 1. Open the hood and disconnect the cable from the speedo. It's easy to do, a few turns counterclockwise and it's disconnected. 2. Jump in your car and drive it, you won't be able to see 40mph, but estimate the speed. See if you could hear the nose. -tom

	It might be an alignment problem, OR A brake backing plate was slightly bent during the repair, and grinds on the drum/disk when you turn. Check the brake backing plates, try to bend them a bit away from the drum/disk and see what happens. Bill, '67 Bug.

	Check that the break calipers move freely. I overheated my breaks once, and one of the caliper pins annealed itself to the caliper clamp. the breaks bound just a little, reducing gas milage and causing a slight noise.
