Humming sound-Pulsating 40-60Mph
I own a 2002 Galant ES [165k] and while driving on freeway from 40-60 there is a wired humming/pulsating sound. This sound vanishes or reduces after 70mph ..i can feel the sound matching the motion of wheels. So at higher speeds the iteration of cycle increases and noise cannot be much identified but exists.
Couple of things:
1.I can feel some vibration on my steering while braking hard ..got it checked by mechanic ..and my brake pads needs to be changed along with rotors[optional]
2.Going over the previous forums its being suggested to change wheel bearings but no concrete response if it worked out or not
3.Well another guy driving Honda replaced ...pads ..rotors ..bearings ..rotated tires and finally got fixed by replacing rear control arms
4.Other steps people suggest replacing tires and rims
...for now i got my wheel balanced ..did not help ..later there was this plastic shield behind my front driver wheel which was luring out and hanging on a bolt ..got that piece out ..but no improvement
Please suggest me where should i start from don't like wasting money be replacing everything
