Alright all I went cruising this weekend at riversides show and go and by george another noise to make me hunt down the problem. It seems there is a low howl hum coming from the front of my car. It usually raises its head below 35 mph. Turning or braking did nothing unless I slammed on the brakes. Then it run and hides for an hour. and eventually says hello here I am.
I checked my brakes, by the way squeaked the entire weekend, and wheel bearings. the rotors turned with little effort and I could move them. To be safe I re torqued the wheel bearings on both sides and re torque the caliper, dust shield, and caliper brakes to make sure nothing came loose. The howl was strange it wasn't connected to engine, rpm and I didn't notice a change in pitch with speed. It just seemed to get louder the slower I went.
Any suggestions?
What to bearings look like before they go bad?
Could my 4 piston calipers be dragging causing the harmonics?
I never noticed this before, but most likely because I drive 15 miles to work with the air or radio on.
