Spring is slowly coming here to upstate NY. I found a nail in one of my snow tires, so decided to pull all the snows off and put on the summer tires ( new high performance all-season). I'll deal with the flat tire later.
For the last few weeks I have noticed an increase "tire noise" when at highway speed and making a right curve. I figured a pot hole did something to the left front tire, and it became noise when presented with a lateral load from heading right. As soon as the road straightens out, the noise goes away. The noise does not occur when going around left curves.
After putting on the summer tires, which are brand new, I am getting the same noise under the same conditions. If anything, the intensity of the noise may be a bit higher. So, now I am thinking I have a tired wheel bearing.
Anyone other thoughts as to the source of the noise? Could there be some CV joint noise under there conditions? Does not make sense to me for there to be CV joint noise under these specific conditions, but FWD/AWD cars are still new to me. (I managed to stay RWD for a long time. So much easier to work on.) Snooping around the web, it does not look like changing the wheel bearing/hub is overly difficult. Any tips on relacement?
