Whoa91 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I have a thumping sound coming from the rear drivers side, kinda sounds like a bent rim so I swapped the front and rear rim and tire and took it for and drive and same sound (thump, thump, thump) coming from the rear loudest at around 20mph. Did a few hard turns and realized that when there is no load on the tire the sound fades away and when I put load on the tire it gets much louder. Any idea?

Whoa91 Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 forgot to say also a humming sound. If its the wheel bearing can I replace it myself, is it a big job, how much does it cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
