ktl Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Just fitted some wheels of a mates starlet and now im getting a humming sound while driving. Sometimes when it does make a noise if i turn right it gets louder. now im thinking wheel bearing. I've jacked it up and the right side is knocking up and down abit, the left side is fine. But i was told if you turn right puts more strain on the left side which means the left bearing is going. But the hub on the left side is fine. Would toyo r888 tyres make road noise ? When i come to a fast brake you can feel resistance in the brakes aswell.Theres no clunking/or metal sound coming from it either.any help would be handy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 last time i had a noise after changing wheels it was the tires but if it wasnt making the noise before id say its something to do with the wheels tires Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ktl Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 Proberly good idea to swap them over to see if it stops. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blitz Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 if it sounds like a battery drill powering up and down, its probably a wheel bearing mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ktl Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 hi mate, it doesnt. its more off a Hum/grind noise. It sometimes gets louder when braking slowly. Althought it does change pitch when i turn the wheel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andy.i Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 wheel bearing, mine was the same when i braked, what a racket! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ktl Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 I just cant tell which side it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andy.i Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 jack up a side at a time and rock the wheel side to side and backwards and forwards and it will be ovbious mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
