Speed dependent noise coming clearly from PS front end of of my immaculate (or nearly so:
'91 C-900, 135K miles since new): worsening grinding or growling sounds from
left front wheel well area, comes on about 20mph, and gets more intense as speed increases from there.
But not much change in the noise level if I de-clutch or shift gears; and also not obviously linked to engine load. I've never been into the CV joints (no apparent torn boots -inner or
outer- nor oozing lubricants, and no loss of tranny lubricant) so I'd assume it's a wheel bearing.
But on the other hand, the noise increases notably when I'm turning, which maybe indicates a failing CV joint rather than a wheel bearing??
Any suggestion as the starting point on dealing with this?
(I'll begin now by trying to make sense out of the Bentley and Haynes C-900
manuals in my bookshelf.)
