I have noticed an oscillating
noise coming from what I believe is the driver's side front tire. You can
also just very slightly feel it in the steering wheel. You must be on
very smooth pavement at around 15 to 20 MPH to hear and feel it. Also, a
sound can be heard about 40+ MPH that sounds a bit like blowing across a
coke bottle with our mouth. It is not perceptible if the radio is on.
The sound does not change with braking, acceleration, turning or changes in
pavement type or bumps.
I think the front bearing may be going bad or maybe a bent rim.
Interested in feedback. Thanks

raise the front wheel off the ground and check to see if there is play in the wheels.
