Hey, Im new here and would be grateful if someone could help me out. I searched the forums but I could not find anything that was similiar to my problem.

Whenever I accelerate and let off the gas or change lanes the back end of my car shifts to the left and it feels like it wants to get loose. Also when I started to feel this a sound from my right back side followed. Whenever I drive I hear something to the tune of "dun,dun,dun,dun" and it gets faster as a speed and slower as I slow down.

I have no mods other then intake and exhaust, I really dont feel like bringing it to a mechanic and getting ripped off, so if anyone can help me out that be awesome.

 

knocking?

 

wheel bearing

 

strut?

 

nah, strut doesn't make that ..dun dun dun dun sound.

Wheel bearing will make the wheel loose. Also will give that helicopter sound the faster you go

 

gotcha

 

Thanks everyone for the replies....So the consensus is that its my wheel bearing?? And if so is this expensive to fix?

 

If it helps I have an 03 with 44,000 miles.

 

Assume that you will have to have a mechanic look at the suspension. Wheel bearing? Crummy tires?

 

Could it be that i have older tires in the front and new ones in the rear?

 

New tires? What kind?

 

Thanks everyone for the replies, SuperBlack was right, it was my wheel bearing. The mechanic said that I was extremely lucky that my tire did fall off. Does anyone know what an average install of a wheel bearing usually costs?

 

It is a very very easy job to do! but you are probably looking at like 300 when its all said and done

 

i have that same noise from the front. I thought it was from eagle f1 tread being too hard and my alignment being aligned for our wonderful tire feathering. I guess its the wheel bearing... that sucks how do i do this myself is this covered under warranty?

 

FYI, Do not wait too long to get this fixed. Turns out I did and I needed a new wheel bearing and wheel hub.

 

are wheel bearing repairs covered under extended warranty?
