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 |

This is assuming the wheels are bigger than the corolla ones.
If the noise is less but is still there when you put the rolla wheels on then its a suspension issue, I would say, because the softer tires on the rolla wheels take some of the impact. I would check control arm bushings and ball joints. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold

And yes, the wheels I had on before were 17x7 & I believe the Corolla wheels were 15's or 16's if I'm not mistaken, with much beefier tires. -Thanks again, Ryan |
