Ok I tried searching the forums for a thread similar to what I was experiencing but I had no luck. I noticed that my car began making strange noises this winter. When I put the car in reverse I noticed as I pull out of my parking spot the car kind of makes a slight howling sound as I roll to a stop (no brakes applied). Its not that loud but its loud enough to hear it from inside the car. After that I put it in drive and pull away and its fine. No noise on the road or anything. Could this be a bad wheel bearing by any chance? It sounds like it is coming from the rear driver's side but Im not 100% sure. Since spring is coming I noticed that on days when it is 40 degrees or higher there is no noise. But when it is 30 degrees or below I can hear the noise.
I also noticed that the car sometimes pulls to the right when I am braking to a stop only going down hill. The wheel actually turns about a quarter ways to the right when I brake to a stop going down this one particular hill on my way to work that has a stop light at the bottom. I read that the car pulling to one side could be the wheel bearing. I don't think any of my calipers are sticking. Any help would be greatly apprieciated. Thanks.
