It might increase slightly, but the sound doesn't change in magnitudes. I put the car up in the air over the weekend and was easily able to spin the wheel by hand. It spun just as easily as the passenger side. That makes me think its not the wheel bearing and is something deeper in the drivetrain...
Actually, with that description.. wheel bearing, you have just one tiny spot that is either rough or flatted. As it loads you will hear the change. Pretty text book symptoms you are describing
Hmm, good to know. It was atypical of the other wheel bearing failures I've experienced so I wasn't 100% sure. I'll report back when I've had an opportunity to get it changed out, though that probably won't be until after the new year.
Wearing a blue jacket and rode across the BK Bridge towards Manhattan at 8:30ish this morning?Put the fenders back on yesterday just in time for a rainy commute today. Was almost side swiped by a cab that all of a sudden changed direction to a person hailing a cab and did a nice two wheel slips. Good to have some mtb skills when you ride
That is my route every morning and there around that time.
Spotted! I was walking across and the enve's caught my attention. Wife loved the jersey btw, thanks.Yes, @6thElement thats me
niceMornin!
Not a ton to report, just a productive weekend knocking out a bunch of tasks on my to do list. Did a brake job on my truck and continue to remain perplexed by a "whump-whump" noise coming from the driver's wheel on the wife's Civic that isn't tire, CV, or wheel bearing related.
