Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General my front left wheel goes HMMMM.....

what's up ppl. So i'm driving after i pick up my pops from out of town in the car goes (Hhmmmmmm) and it's coming from the front left. The only thing i never noticed it before cause the music is on. But i felt the floor board shake a bit like a subtle small continous vibration. It only hums when i turn the steering wheel rightwards or slightly right from the center and is louder obviously as i go faster. Turning the wheel leftwards or slightly leftwards there is no sound absolutely.

I highly assume it's an alignment problem, since my steering wheel is slightly leftwards while going straight. Also, i noticed it more since i put the bigger wheels on.

but all in all, based on what i've described above i wanted to see what you guys would think. I'm going to take it in the next few days.

hopefully it's just an alignment prob. The only thing is that it doesn't pull if any or at all. Could it be a wheel bearing also?

I just don't want to get ripped as alignments are one of those things you can't do own your own without the equipment/machines. You just hope the good mechanic does a good job indeed. I've had bad experiences in the past with align's.

sorry - just had to post this...

Things that make you go hmm

I was at the crib, sittin' by the fireplace
Drinkin' cocoa on the bear skin rug
The door bell rang. Who could it be?
Thought to myself then started to shrug
Got to the door. Ding Dong. Who is it?
My girl's best friend had payed me a visit.
Sly as can be, tight dress and all
She knew that I was faithful. I really didn't have the gall.
I tried to chilll. She made the move.
Now I know my girlfriend wouldn't approve.
I didn't realize my girl was settin' me up
Yo, my girl didn't trust me. No!
Yeah, but she lost control I wouln't take the bait.
I said chill baby baby chill baby baby wait
My girl bust in, Caught us creating a boom
She said "Girlfriend"?

Here's how it started
Just an example of how another brother can trample
Ruin your life, sleep with your wife
Watch your behind
There was a friend of mine named Jay
Would come over late at night and say hey
I watched the fight. I thought is was alright.
'Cause me and Jay were really really tight
So damned close we had the same blood type.
Months went by and my wife got big
We were havin' a child and I got another gig
So I let Jay move into the crib and chill
He had his own room and helped pay the bills
The time had come (for the baby down to the scene)
It looked like Jay and I couldn't believe
Before my eyes in the delivery room.

Robbie Rob - break it down!

Give it to me Give it to me Give it to me Give it to me (x7)
Give it to me Give it to me

Seventeen and I was havin' a ball
Eleventh grade and "Joe" I knew it all
I fell in love for the very first time
With this girl she really blew my mind
Inner sense and whole lotta class
Style that could give you whiplash
We said hello and my heart be stopped
She was the world and I was on top
Time went by, She filled my universe
We made love, She said I was the first
My boy kept tellin' me. Yo, I don't know
I think your girl's been playing tic tac toe
I'll ask my girl I know she only loves me
Wasn't I the one who tool your viginity?
The look on her face read sorrow and gloom
She said "Yeah, Why do you guys always ask that?"

Chorus:

Things that make you go hmm
Things that make you go hmm
It's the things that make you go hmm

(chorus)

Hey ladies
Have you ever had a man
Go away for business, come back with a tan
Comes home late at night from work
You cooked him dinner now you feel like a jerk
Sayin' he didn't have time to eat
And he's not even hungry, he wants to be treat
To the bedroom he said his head hurts
You're only makin' love in radical spurts
Mysterious calls and the phone goes click
You say to yourself "I'm gonna hit him with a brick"
Ain't no way he could be cheatin' on me
I wonder who bought him those BVD's
Dressed to a T to hang with the fellas
Over the guys and I'm getting jealous
Comin' home late smellin' like perfume (fume)

(chorus) x7

It sounds like another wheel bearing is biting the dust.

Seriously, this is what the wheel bearings do when they are in need of replacement. I thought I had snow tires on with the noise mine made.

Cheers!

so it sounds like a wheel bearing going soon huh? how much would one of those cost?

Bearings are cheap, just make sure you replace it before it creates a bigger problem.

It is definitely a wheel bearing. The local Ford dealership charged around $300 Cdn after taxes to replace both front bearings.

Glad to see that I'm not the only one to have had this exact same thought.

Could be a bad CV joint bearing, but most likely a bad wheel bearing.
