loud humming or growling in front end and can feel vibration in my feet looking for ideas on what it could be?
The noise starts at about 15 mph and gets higher pitched to the point you can't here it much over 60mph
The noise does not change if using brakes or if you turn the wheel left or right
noise is still there drifting down hill in neutral



Short history about 6 weeks ago changed both front wheel hubs because the driver side hub was bad
the car ran great for 5 week after hub changes no noise till about 3-4 days ago
I did jack the car up and see if it looked like there was and play in the new Hubs did not seem to be any
i even rotated the tires to make sure it was not tire noise

any ideas would be appreciated

thanks
brian
 


Jack the front end up and with the car in neutral, spin each tire by hand while holding the spring. If you feel a vibration, then that hub is bad. It's very possible to get a bad new hub.
 
thanks for the help everyone I replaced the passenger side wheel hub car sounds good now

I had never heard a hub that was that bad before and went from good to bad so quickly it kinda sounded like a propeller plane lol
