Wheel Bearing

[El Pablo]

has anyone had this happen before? Right now I'm at 38000 miles, everytime i go on the highway, my car starts shaking and i can feel it coming from the steering wheel, i already had my allingment, and i had my front wheels rotated and balanced. Also when i turn a lil to the right i hear a creeking noise, i think its a wheel bearing, anyone got any thoughts?

IS there a humming noise also? If so then yes it's your wheel bearing. Do you have warranty still? If so take it back and let them figure it out.

had the same problem. need a new right front wheel bearing. my car only has 39,000 miles on it. the repair cost about $250.

I took it to the dealership and i was told that it was my wheel, its possible, im going to switch the wheels, they imformed me that my left front wheel was vibrating when they had it on the lift, I smell something fishy, however i fugure if i change the front and back wheels i will have a solution. if the vibrating comes from the back afterwords it was the wheel, if it still comes from the front its a bearing. I'll be doing that tomorrow.

If it is your wheel bearing it wont shake at higway speeds. I had an alignment done and balanced tires but the car still shook at higway speeds. I then changed my tires and everything was fine. I have a feeling it is your tires.

Mine did the same thing and I did all the things you did to solve it, but they didn't work. It turned out that it was my tie rod end on the left side. I replaced this and there was no more vibration.

i had to have my wheels balanced, it still vibrates but thats cuz one of my rims is screwed, im gonna have that one put on the back, it wont be so bad.

Yeah I had the same problem but mine was intermittant with my old tires and would start at 65.

New tires, same rims, problem fixed :cool:
