last week i had a lot of noise coming from my front drivers side wheel, and determined that it was the wheel bearing going out, and had it replaced - no problemo, right?
well since then, over the course of the past week, a new noise has developed - more specifically, a loud buzz. at first i thought that it was the same wheel bearing, a bad one, or something went wrong at the shop that put it in for me, so i had them jack it up again and check it out, bearing was tight, wheel spun fine. they also checked the other one to be sure, and it was okay, too. there was a little bad spot on a rear drivers side tire, so i put on the spare hoping that was the source of my noise.
it wasn't.
it's hard to describe a noise, but i'll do my best. it is definitely a low buzzing sound, but pretty loud. i first notice it at ~ 35 mph, and it increases in volume as i go faster. it's coming from the front - at first i thought the drivers side wheel, but now that i listen more i believe it's closer to the center, as i can feel the vibration quite strongly at the gas pedal. pressing on the clutch makes no difference. when i turn the wheel to the left, it diminishes. turning to the right doesn't seem to make it any louder tho. when i slow down, i can hear the buzz getting lower (and slower) all the way till i stop...
i've just won a bentley (and 2 other books) on ebay. but looking thru my clymer and haynes, i haven't found much direction....
any ideas?
