Do I have bad axles? whirling/huming noise.

**02grandprix** · 09-09-2009

To cut to the chase.. I have replaced the wheel bearing, didnt change the sound. Put my stock tires back on, still there. When I am driving at speeds above 30mph, I get this constant humming . when I cut the wheel to the right I am loading the wheel on the left and it gets like a pulsing/humming noise. When I turn to the left still there but not as loud. At highway speeds its quite. All other wheel bearings were replaced with timken about 5 months ago, they had play in them, but the wheel that I just replaced didnt have play. And replaced it figuring thats where the noise was coming from. I have 120k on the axles. Do you guys think it may be the axles going bad? Check boots no rips. the boots were replaced 3 years ago with upgraded boots and grease ,because they were slinging grease. The CVs checked out ok at the time. Im just a bit lost here.

TIA I also posted this over at clubgp.

You SURE all the wheel bearings are in good condition?? You pretty much just described exactly what it sounds like when one goes bad.

To my knowledge, checked them over real well. I just replaced that side, because I thought thats where the noise was coming from, there was no movement in the bearing. the other bearings maybe have 10k on them, timken brand.
