Driving much better but there's still a wuh-wuh-wuh sound that varies with wheel speed and seems to be coming from the right front. It's faint but definitely noticeable. Sure thought that was going to disappear once the new bearings were in. Guess I'll be spending some time going through the front end noise threads.


Sounds like you may have slightly bent one of the dust shields during re install. Make sure they’re not touching the rotors. If it is, just bend it back. Good place to start checking.

Thanks, I appreciate the suggestion but the sound was there before the bearing install. I thought it was one of the bearing symptoms and would go away after the replacement, but that didn’t happen.

I would be interested to hear the outcome of the wha-wha-wha noise as i have personal experience with this and never found the answer.

Before my 4runner and 05 Acura TL I had a sweet 93 SC 300. Friend of mine was hot dogging it and drifted into a curb and bent the rear control arms and some other stuff costing me almost 1k to fix.

Anyways, from that day on, I had that wha-wha-wha noise that varied with speed just as you describe.

I had the diff, rear bearings, rims, etc checked and the mechanic found nothing.

Never did figure it out and eventually traded it in for the Acura since the sound was driving me crazy.

Hope you get yours resolved!

what condition are the front tires in? snap a couple pics of the tread area.

I’m interested also as I have the same thing going on. I have replaced the front wheel bearings and the axles (which needed replacing anyway) as well as all the brake parts but still have the noise.

Good luck!

they don't look too bad. the reason I asked to see them, is sometimes if an aggressive tread is worn badly, it can make a noise similar to what you were describing.

Yes, it was a good suggestion to check the tread.

Well, there was a serious & embarrassing flaw in my logic: when the noise started has nothing to do with the cause. That occurred to me & I finally had a chance to check today. Guess what? Bent passenger side dust shield.

Glad you found the source! I haven’t tracked mine down yet and was assuming it was the bearings. I need to replace the driver's side dust shield anyway due to rust, so I was planning to just replace the bearings since it needs to come apart anyway...

Not as fixed as I thought it seems...noise is much better but still there right at 40mph. Wondering if the shields are getting bent when I reinstall the wheels.

I do know that some wheel bearings, most of the ones I've done on various vehicles, do NOT come packed with grease. Do you know if it was pre packed or did you pack it before install?
Dry bearings, even new, can give an odd sound at certain frequencies/rpm.
Hopefully you get it figured out.

The front wheel bearings are a sealed bearing, no need to grease them, couldn't grease them even if you wanted too.

Don't rule out rear bearings. I swore my fronts were bad when i purchased my vehicle and the dealership replaced a rear under warranty and it fixed a rear left when I swore it was a front left.
