Camry :: Roaring Sound Starting At About 35 To 40 Mph - Wheel Bearings?
Nov 9, 2011
My wife's car is an '05 Camry SE, V-6, 60K miles. Just recently, I start to hear a roaring sound starting about 35-40 mph. It sounds like a rear wheel bearing. I jacked up the front end and ran the car in drive, but did not hear anything unusual. I jacked up the rear and shook the wheels in and out and did not notice any play or wobble. I drove about 45-50 on a straight road and swerved gently from right to left and vice versa, but could not determine where the sound is coming from. How do I narrow my inspection to determine if it is a wheel bearing, and which bearing is bad?

I gotta a roaring noise coming from my right front while turning. Planning on replacing just the wheel bearings tomorrow & not the whole hub assembly(2008 2wd). Is there a thread that lays out the steps and other parts I may need? I've seen alot different stories on the net on how to do it. Everthing from I can press new bearings to I have to do 4x4 hub conversion. Seems to be some confusion.

Two different Subaru dealership repair shops told me that i have loose rear wheel bearings on my 2003 Outback. My car does sound like a VERY loud airplane all the time now, but the noise is the only symptom i have noticed. My shop has told me that they will fix it for a discounted price, but they are not pushing me to get it fixed, and have told me that it shouldn't cause any actual problems besides the loud noise being very annoying. All internet research to the contrary, though. I have to drive about 1000 miles round trip next month -- is it just going to be a noisy trip, or is something horrible going to happen if i don't get the bearings taken care of?

My 2005 Prius has 95k miles on it. I've been hearing a cluck-cluck-cluck noise from near the front driver side wheel. I had an independent mechanic test drive it, who said the wheel bearing needs replacement. Should I have it checked out by a Toyota dealer? They're so much more expensive, but are is it worth taking it to them?

I bought a certified pre-owned 08 Camary about two years ago and all in all it has been a good car. Over the past couple of months I had notice a little vibration in the steering wheel starting around 55 - 60 MPH and above. It seemed to be coming from the front of the car and at times I would notice a slow rocking of the front end around 20MPH.
I took it to a national repair shop recently and they said that it was the struts going bad. I have about 85,000 miles on the car and the tires looked new when I got it with about 30,000 mile on the car. All in all the thread on the tires look good with the exception of the outer threads on both front tires, you can see wear but only on the outsides. I also had shaking when I put my brakes on at higher speeds but they replaced the front brakes and turned the rotors and that fixed that issue.
Would struts going bad cause uneven tire wear and steering wheel shaking? If so does $1100 sound right to replace front struts, two new front tires and an alignment?

I have a 2002 GMC Senoma 4WD. I have recently noticed a roaring noise in the area of the left front wheel, The noise is associated with rotation of the wheel. There is no unusual tire wear or shimmy. I rarely use the 4WD however when I engage the 4LO option the noise gets louder.

I have a 010 Ford Flex. It has 36k miles and bought it a yr ago with 24k miles. I have had 2 or 3 wheel bearing replaced earlier this Summer and one of the replacements already went bad and was replaced yesterday. This makes the count 4 now.
I say 2 or 3 because they had to get 3 of them. I am not sure that they replaced 3 of the bearings or if two were replaced and one of the replacements were bad and had to be reordered. I smell inferior parts. Love the Flex but am afraid the bearings issue will reoccur.

2009 Honda Civic, 54k miles, new tires (<10k miles), loud roaring when driving. Tire dealer says wheel bearings on front left tire are going out. Should this be happening on this car? Drove a Toyota Camry for 14 years and never replaced wheel bearings.

Is there an issue/TSB with 03 Camry regarding the steering?
I never drove it much until my 96 Corolla died out, and a couple of years back I started to noticed a little play in the steering wheel that is getting more noticeable.
When I took it to the stealership they told me no TSB but we could suggest a lubricant pack.
When I go over bumps in the road now I can sometimes now her a small click sound.

Getting a roaring sound when driving at speeds above 20mph... Almost sounds like loud exhaust, but it does not fluctuate with engine RPM's. 40K on the car - bought one year ago... seems pre-mature to fail that quickly no?

After my Chevy Prizm took its rightful place at the junkyard two months ago (transmission failure on a car with a bad engine and suspension problems is, and should be, fatal), I got a 2008 Honda Civic to replace it. I had it checked out before buying by my mechanic, and I've driven it a few thousand miles without many issues. It had just under 42K on it when I bought it (former lease bought at new car dealer sale by the local place I bought it from), has just over 46K now, and has new Bridgestone tires on it that my mechanic says are worth $700-800. (I don't know exactly what kind they are, which is why I include that bit of pricing info.)
Last week I noticed that a sound I'd been hearing intermittently (to the point where I wondered if I was imagining it) became steady and consistent at 60mph. It's a "hooooooooo" sound, very resonant, and it's driving me crazy. It's gotten louder and louder, and it's now happening around 30 mph and above. It's been consistent since last Friday and getting worse every day.
Underneath that sound is the soft drone of what I assume is a wheel bearing going bad, which is still intermittent and has only started in the last few days. This is what causes me to believe what my mechanic said yesterday, which is that one of the front wheel bearings needs replacing. He also said I could wait until the sound "gets louder" before replacing the bearing -- I assume he means only the droning sound, not the resonant hooting that I hear every time I get onto a main road now. Because I believe the resonant sound COULD get louder, but I don't see how a person could keep driving under those conditions without actually going insane.
I scheduled the car to go in tomorrow to have that bearing fixed (for between $300-500, he said, which seems really pricey to me). But I'd like to know whether this is likely to solve the resonant "hoooooo" sound as well as the "wow wow wow" sounds that I associate specifically with a bad wheel bearing. My mechanics checked the suspension and rotated the tires yesterday while doing an oil change, too, and said everything looks tight and good, and the tire rotation had no effect on the sound I'm hearing, which is strongest from the driver's side front and is, again, louder every day.
(I know Civics aren't supposed to be great on road noise, but the fact that this has clearly gotten measurably worse over only a few days makes me feel its definitely mechanical and not just the usual ambient highway noise.)

As the weather got hotter, I have started to drive with my windows half-down when driving through city for short distances, otherwise I use AC. What I noticed about one month ago was the noise coming from the wheels when going over bumps. It is really annoying and sounds like when you shake metal balls in a pocket.
Firstly I thought that it was coming from the brake calipers, so I replaced all the shims (actually, I have replaced rotors and pads also as they were pretty rusty and I got a good price on them). However, the noise is still there. Yesterday I got my tires replaced for the summer ones and as I was checking afterwards if the bolts are tightened correctly, I noticed that if I shake the wheel (really hard) then I can replicate the noise. To have it summarized.
What I have tried already: Replaced rotors, pads and shims on every wheel and ensured that all of the bolts are tightened correctly. And I have also googled about this problem but every finding was about the shims not fitted correctly.
What are the symptoms: Strange metallic noise coming from the wheel (every) when going over road surfaces that are not perfectly flat and with windows down (when they are all up, I cannot hear anything). I can replicate the noise if I shake the wheel (with car on the ground).
I have taken video of the noise and hope you car hear it, but I think it is pretty noticeable. It sounds like the bolts are really loose but I have ensured 10 times that they are tightened and also as I wrote previously the noise is coming from every wheel. You cannot see it on the video but I'm filming with one hand and shaking the wheel with another (pretty hard), that's why the whole video is shaking.

I hit a pot hole. Front left tire went flat and wheel damaged. I changed tired and wheel. After that humming or cyclic roaring sound is coming from front of car when speed goes above 30mph. Front middle or front-right side I can't really say for sure exactly from where it is coming but it is front. What it could be. It's not bad so far. I can still drive at 65mph.

I got an 08 F150 2wd. I noticed lately a mild roaring noise coming from right front wheel, but it only does it when I'm turning left. There is nothing while driving straight or during right hand turns. Only happens during left hand turning.

Front DS wheel hub. The front wheel bearing nuts come loose all the time. I have to check it every weekend, usually starts to get loose after a week and I have to pull apart the hub and re-tighten the nuts. Bearings are all okay, but tires wobble when they get loose...
Reverse order of install: nut -> keyed washer -> nut -> washer -> snap ring -> 4wd auto engaging assembly -> spring seat -> cap seal -> spring -> cap
My understanding is the deepest nut gets adjusted so that the bearing is tight enough that nothing wobbles but not so tight the wheel can't freely spin. Then the keyed spacer goes in and the second nut is tightened down hard to lock the first nut in position.
I've had on-and-off issues with the front DS in general as well. That side the brake caliper always start to suck in air after a few months, on #4 now. Brake system has been replaced with rebuilt MC & calipers, all new lines and warning switch. Also the 4WD doesn't seem to lock in on that hub every time. It will engage, but doesn't hold if it gets too much torque. Then other times it engages and locks and won't have any problems until next time I want to use it. It works about 70% of the time. I've taken it apart and checked everything, no burrs or wear that I've noticed to cause it.
