Woob...Woob...Woob sound in front left of '93 940 900 1993

Hi, I just got a 93 940 about 1 month ago and I've put on about 1,000 miles. When the car is rolling along at 15 mph, I hear a "woob...woob...woob..." noise and the car pulsates (lunges?) very slightly whether the brakes are applied or not. Tires appear good and only have about 22K miles. I have had flat spots and I don't think that this is it. I hope it isn't a sealed bearing assembly as those are $105 at the local parts house (Discount Auto Parts in Central Florida) Any help??? Please advise and thanks in advance...

    Could be a wheel bearing, but they tend to growl, and get worse with time. I'd check the tires carefully. Put a rear tire on the front, do one side, then the other, and drive it in between to see if the noise changes or goes away, i.e. try to isolate which tire might be making the noise. You can also jack one side up and spin the front tire, you'd be surprised at how easy it is to see if its out of round. Also, a belt could be or have delaminated. My thought is to rule out the tires before you start spending money on parts. The sealed wheel bearings seem to be reliable. Good luck.

      Yep, jacked up the front left and spun the tire. Tire was OK. Listened closely and heard pad rubbint intermittently on rotor. Removed tire and found warped rotor. Glad it's not the bearing! Thanks for the reply...

      Best...
