Humming noise....

Slammed83Mazda · 10-17-2009, 03:37 AM

As the speed gets faster, a louder humming noise arises. Sounds like the tires, but I rotated them and the same thing. Coming from the front end.

i hate to tell you this but it sounds like a wheel bearing.

If it's a 98+ Ebay ya go. If it's a 97- Autozone ya go. 97- are cheap while 98+ are hub assemblies and are a lot more expensive. The 2wd and 4wd's are different.

That's exactly what I didn't want to tell myself, wondering if I could get lucky and score a set of hubs at the junkyard.....I take it there a pain in the ass to change out.

Oh I didn't see that you were the OP Nick.
Changing front wheel bearings out is easy and cheap.

It's a Ford but it's basically the same thing:

And please don't use Mop n Glo gloves, you WILL get laughed at

But components like this you don't want to buy used because you don't really know how many miles are on them, if they even are good, and new ones are cheap.

Yeah it takes like maybe 30 minutes a side of that just pull the caliper bracket with caliper attached take rotor off and then if 4x4 take axle not out and then take the three bolts off from the inside of the spindle the give it a little bit of a wake job if rusted and I mean with a hammer and wala it in your hands and oh yeah don't forget to unplug the abs sensor which is part of the hub assembly I think not sure varies car to car.
