Hey guys,
Really getting kind of frustrated with this & would really appreciate your help; so my passenger side hub & bearing went bad a couple weeks ago & started making a lot of noise. You don't hear the noise until you reach to about 10-15 miles & up. It's like almost a banging noise & it progresses with speed. It's hard to explain the noise through text, but if you can imagine, it's like a DOOM DOOM DOOM kind of noise. Also, as I turn right or left the noise progresses more as well. I changed the hub, which was worn down to NOTHING, and also the bearing & the whole spindle and I'm still hearing the same exact noise. Now, when I changed all of that stuff, the axle nut was loose cause the nut-lock & cotter pin was missing (I don't know). So I figured since the axle nut was loose, that wore down the hub really bad. So after I changed it I thought everything would be fixed, but I guess I was wrong. I put back a nut-lock & cotter pin. Does anyone have any ideas on what else it could be? I even tried changing out my wheels to see if it were a wheel problem, but no luck. It still made the noise with new wheels. If anyone has any ideas on what it could be, your help would be much appreciated. -Thank you for your time, Ryan |

Sorry for the late reply guys, I have a 94 GT w/ a 3rd gen 3SGTE swap in it (Front Wheel Drive). To be honest, I don't even know what a U-joint is.
 No, it's making noise on acceleration & when I turn (majority of the time) the noise gets louder. I have aftermarket wheels & are using the lug nuts that came with them. I torque them down with air tools, so I'm pretty sure they're torqued correctly. But, I even tried using some factory corolla wheels to see if the wheels were the problem (I also used the factory Toyota lug nuts) & the noise wasn't as loud, but it was still there & still got louder with turns. I have the poly-urethane mount inserts & when I installed them on with my 3s, they weren't as solid as when I had installed them on my 99 GT 5SFE, could that be some sort of indicator there?-Thanks again for all the ideas. Keep them coming, Ryan |
