1988 Ford Tempo Whirring Noise up Front

Jun 19, 2005 0 Replies

Over the last few weeks, my tempo has developed a very noticible whirring noise up front. I haven't been able to determine which side is more pronouced.



The noise occurs when driving starting at about 10mph. It gets more pronounced as I go faster. I noticed if I turn (swerve) right the noise level decreases.



I have replaced the bearing and axle on the drivers side a couple of years ago.


From other posts, I guess this points to the passenger side wheel

bearing but I haven't been able to pinpoint the noise to that side.


Could it be the axle/CV joints? I don't have any clicking that I would normally associate with the CV joints.
