#28601, "65MPH + like a machine gun...I SEARCHED"


          

Ok so when I it 65 + my rear left suspension(i think) makes a loud noise like a machine gun till I slow down..it also happens over rough roads. Ive read things about knucke bushings and all that but Im not sure if thats what mine is since it is doing it at high speeds also. My car is lowered 2.0 on goldline springs and different struts, so what could it be besides the struts?

Thanks, Brandon

Try checking the wheel bearing, mine made a similar sound when it went out. Jack up car, pull off wheel, and see if it loose.

When my front left wheel bearing went out it sounded like the whine you get from a Ferrari.

I dont think its the wheel bearing...but its getting worse...seems worse when there is more pressure in the tire...when the tire is kinda flat lol i had a leak it is not as bad

Thanks, Brandon

Same here, now both my right bearings are dead and they whine at highway speeds.
