cardio-doc Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Drove my GF's Black/Black 1994 Seville (nee SLS) yesterday. It's the gift I get for washing it, maintaining it, and updating/upgrading the wheels/tires monthly. So I'm hearing some 'noise' from the front end when driving. It goes with speed so it's driveline related. All I can describe it as is a steady noise. Noise stays if I drop it into Neutral and coast. I'm 'thinking' it's a hub or bearing of something around the spindle. Comments? Thoughts?

Dan Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 The hubs make kind of a swishing sound when they go bad. You can buy one from autozone or pepboys for about $100. The Timiken brand is not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 My money is that its a hub bearing. My '93 SLS ate these. 3 or 4 of them in 200K. Failures can have different sounds....some growl.....some zing. Some show up during turns. The hubs are about $150 aftermarket.

Ranger Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Do a series of "S" turns and if it's a bearing it will talk to you and let you know when you load and unload it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
