Front passenger wheel making droning sound.
Hey guys,
Hoping you can help me with this. I've been experiencing this pulse droning sound from my passenger front wheel. It kicks in at around 15-20mph but goes away after that. Does not have a metal sound to it at all, almost sounds like there is a spot on my tire that is making this sound but I have no clue. Im waiting for the weather to warm up so I can swap on the spare and see if its the wheel itself or something else all together.
I have no idea if its related to the same problem, but when I change lanes and turn the wheels left slightly this pulse vibration sound starts kinda similar to the one at low speeds but you can feel the vibration more so from the same wheel. But this is experienced more so at +60 mph speeds. If inspected the wheel myself, and it seemed fine. I dont think its a wheel bearing issue either.
If you guys have any input before i go to the dealer that would be great.
Appreciate it!

If i do that test how much give am i expecting? There is about 65000 miles on it now. I wont lie, its been doing this for quite some time and it hasn't been getting any worst.
If it was a wheel bearing wouldn't the droning be constant as opposed to pulsing?

i haven't been a tech for long but all the bad wheel bearings i've done made a humming/droning noise that increase with speed and never go away at higher speeds.
also check to see if you tires are feathered.
then again its hard to tell without personally checking it out.
