philpott Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 right car was making this noise a week before my clutch was fitted. sounded like a humming noise which goes away if you turn right but stays there if you turn left. Gets louder as you go faster.2 weeks after clutch and the noise has got louder.. had the car jacked up at the front and was geting the car up to 50mph in 3rd puting it into neutral and turning it off and it was making one hell of a whining noise while coming down the revs..we could not work out if it was a wheel bearing, or the gearbox..car is a 97 glanza anyone had similar problems and found out what it was would be massive help. Because i dont want to spend £100 on both front bearings to find out its the gearbox.Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LukeH Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Sounds like a wheel bearing to me.can you feel any play i the wheel at all? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philpott Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 no we was trying to shake them about while the front was jacked up.. gave them a spin and everything thats what i mean, i personally think its a wheel bearing because why would the noise go away when the wheel is turned right? comes and goes as you go over bumpy bit of road too.. i hope it isn't the box because ive just had a new clutch put in and it means geting it off again and spending out for a new one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yaristurbo Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 usually when you take the weight off the wheel when turning, if it gets louder a wheel bearing, box could be low on oil my diff went mental when i was a bit low.i will add tho i found a weird one, on a mondeo. it was the brake disc guard, the flex in the wheel bearing was just enough for it to strat scrapping.

weeman Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 jack the wheels up and spin them while holding the coil spring if its a wheel bearing you can usually feel a rumbling /roughness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philpott Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 havnt tried that one yet.. gave the wheel a wobble and it didnt have any play and it doesnt make any noise while its jacked up, ill give that a shot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Domi Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 You can also try the next thing to find out if it's the wheel bearing:Drive on a straight roadPress in the clutchWave from left to right over the road, not to fast just a nice wave, if you hear any noise then its almost sure the wheel bearing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
