Gang,
To revisit: Wheel bearing noise, increases in intensity with loading of
right side.
-Replaced right side front bearing. Noise persists.
-Pulled both rear bearings, and inspected, looking for race fretting.
All rear bearings look very clean.
-Checked all wheels for play. No excessive play observed.
The noise is getting a little louder, and continues to disappear
if the left side gets loaded, and come in strong if the right
side is loaded. No signs of driveshaft/CV involvement.
Anyone ever see a situation where the bearing that gets unloaded
makes the noise?
Still stumped, but eventually something will fail and become obvious.
Any more ideas?
Thanks.
Val
ps: Not my car, but it could be given how much time it's spending here
while I find the whine.
