I have a howl coming from the passenger side of the car and it pulls in that direction. All the cv joints and axls are new in the car and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the wheel bearings.The howl starts at about 40mph and viberates a little.

My guess lies on the bearings. do the "push/pull" test with both front wheels (one at a time), and also keep in mind that a bearing CAN pass the test and still be failing..

The bearings move freeley with just two fingers in them, there is no dragging when i took apart both sides. They both still look brand new.

I guess ill try throwing in a new bearing as well as a new intermediate shaft, since ill have it apart any way. 1999 Mustang GT 1998 SVT #3217 Of 6535 (Sold) 8/25/97 I will own another SVT
