I have a 94 ST and i recently got the passengers side wheel bearing changed along with the cv axle because they happened to go around the same time. I also got new pads and cross drilled/slotted rotors put on. After all of that i had this weird humming still in the front end somewhere along with a weird feeling like a shaky steering wheel. Well i had a bad tire on the front so i went ahead and got 4 new tires installed 2 days ago. The noise and feeling hasnt gone away. It has lessened but isnt completely gone. I am going to get my front aligned tomorrow but i dont think thatll have much to do with it. Any suggestions on what else may be going on?

Yeah ive had the car since 07 but its never been this loud. i have a weird feeling at my feet. it feels and sound like a bad tire but all of them got replaced. idk if it could still be a wheel bearing problem?

things like bearings, axles, rotors, brakes, shocks, ball joints, bushings, etc shoud be replaced in axle pairs as they see almost identical wear. if one is bad the other is probably pretty close.
You can always put your jar on jack stands, remove the wheels and listen for the noise like that. That method helped me determine my less than 1000 mile wheel bearing had noise. i could hear it and feel it in the floor -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.

That is probably what ill start with then. ill get both wheel bearings done again and see if that solves the problem. its almost like a constant shaking on my floorboard where you can feel the tires on the road constantly. it isnt a smooth ride at all. now i know that they arent the smoothest riding cars but my ride isnt the same as it used to be

Did you change both axles?? I know the noise I'm getting (almost close to what you might be hearing) is my bad axles and bad ball joints with the tires I'm running
