I have an idea about what the fix is, but I figured I would post here anyway. My car sounds like a helicopter going down the road. It's ridiculous. The problem started yesterday as the car was vibrating a littler going around a right hand turn. After driving it a little after that it now makes that same noise going straight (just on the driver side up front). I have replaced all wheel bearings awhile back but maybe its due again?

Here's what the car does. When going around a right hand turn, the vibration and noise is terribly loud. When driving straight, the car still makes a noise and shakes but not like going around a right hand turn. When i brake, the noise stops a little. When I accelerate, the noise completely stops until I let off the gas. Any idea's guys?

I checked my front caliper, it seems to be on tight. I have yet to jack up the car to troubleshoot more.

The only things I can think of is:
-Wheel bearings gone
-Axle bearings need to be replaced as I noticed my axle boot is ripped
-Something in the transmission? (155k on tranny)

Any suggestions I'll check out and hopefully I'll be able to fix whatever the problem is tonight. Thanks guys

I've got it figured out. Dam cheap advanced auto wheel bearings. I can't believe I used to buy parts from these guys. I hate their quality lately.

That sucks. You should do poly mounts. You won't be replacing those for awhile. Lol
