This bearing noise
My 2003 Vue, 4 cyl CVT has developed this noise at about 100k.
Sounded like left front bearing. Replaced left spindle, no results. Anyone been down this road and found the true cause? Thanks! |
Sounds like a tire issue to me, but I'm not a mechanic. I'd try rotating the tires from front to back and see if it still sounds the same.

I'm with Rube on initial diag. The issue either moves w the tire or it doesn't. Then take it from there.
To me, sounds like

Thanks for the support, derf. Being an old fart, it's nice to have a young bucks input!

Vue front ned noise
Tires have about 15k miles.
Had them rotated about a week ago with no change. Thanks for your interest! |
Are all the tires evenly worn across the tread? What pressure to you keep them at?
|
Front end noise, Vue
32 psi.
Have tires rotated every 5k miles. tread wear is even. |
Just to sync on terminology:
When you say you replaced the spindle, do you mean you replaced the entire hub with bearing intact, with a new hub w/ bearing intact? Do you feel associated vibes through the steering wheel? What brand and size tires are you running on? Are they all-season/performance/winter/off-road? |
Vue front end noise
Since I am in Georgia and we get snow, on average, once every seven years, I run all weather Michelins. Yes, I know they are overkill for this ancient sled and will develop dry rot before they wear out. (I drive about 10k miles/year).
I replaced the entire spindle on the left front. Saw a u-tube video on replacing the hub. Fellow had beat on his for a couple of days trying to get it off. Finally bought wheel puller and voila. Wheel pullers were running about $75. I spent a morning roaming a local flea market and found one for $10. BOOM! Spindle was off in 30 seconds. Still had the noise, though. Sure sounds like a wheel bearing or at least a bearing of some sort. I am sure that there are many Vues that have had the same problem. Thanks for the forum's interest! |
Alignment ok?
CVT internal bearing? Carrier bearing? (Guessing) |
