Default New sound when turning right.....


Ok, recently I noticed a new sound that kinda sounds like an airplane (or hairdryer) when I am turning right. Not just around corners but even the most gental right curve will cause the sound to happen and sometimes even straight. It is constent and seems to get a bit louder that faster I am going.

When I listen closely I think I can hear the sound all the time, it's just when I'm turning right that is is the most noticable.

Any thoughs what this could be?

Has anyone done the front brakes on the car recently? If so then recheck the routing of the front flex lines. I suspect that someone has looped a flex line to the front of the car instead of to the rear where it is supposed to be.

Any idea how I could check if it is the wheel bearing?

No, no one that I know of has touched the breaks. About two months ago I had the 60k service done and I'm pretty sure they didn't touch the breaks.

Now I did have another problem arise from that service where my coolant temp and coolant level lights would come on and it took three trips back and me telling them that the transmission fluid was too high before it got fixed. I'm hoping that didn't mess anything up.

PS: Ssicarman, I love your dancing Calvin. It fit the music I was playing perfectly.

Have the brakes been serviced before? If not, time to do it...

I meant that the breaks haven't been serviced recently. 6 months I think.

If the bakes have nothing done to them then the wheel bearing(s) are a stron candidate. They ususaly make the most noise driving straight ahead but change when the car is turned and the load changes one the bad one.
