Okay so I need to see if I can get some help with this one. I have a 2004 GMC Envoy with 126k miles on it and I have a noise issue when I drive. What I notice is that when I go any faster than 20mph I have a moaning noise coming from the front that will get louder as I go faster. If I take left turns the noise goes away considerably but is still there but at a very low level. If I take right turns the noise gets even louder than it is when I drive straight. The problem seems to be coming from the front because I can feel it rattle in the floor when I take very sharp right turns with it and I can feel a slight shaking on the wheel but it isn't changing my direction I am turning or anything like that, it is just like holding your phone in your hand when it vibrates. Now I know that with wheel bearings when they go usually if you make a right turn and it gets louder that means your left bearing is bad since thats the side getting loaded down and vice versa.
I have replaced the left front wheel bearing 2 times already with the same noise. I tried using the moog bearing from carquest as well as the normal one from advance auto with no difference in the noise. I did NOT replace the bearing on the front passenger side bearing yet because I wanted to see if you guys think that could be my culprit. I checked all the cv boots and there are no tears or leaking grease from them and when I turn the wheels in the air they do not creak or anything and they have no wobble. I had recently had my outer tie-rod replaced on both sides because they were dried up really bad. I also have brand new wheels on the truck and new brakes so it is not the wheels, brakes or tie-rod.
Can someone help me in thinking and hoping that it is my right front bearing that is going bad? It sounds like it is coming from the front and the minor vibration feeling you get in the wheel helps confirm that. It sounds like the left side but I haven't sat in the passenger seat to listen to the passenger side floor area because nobody takes turns hard enough in my truck but me to be able to get the noise loud enough to pin point.
PLEASE HELP!
