Front of car making loud noise when driving fast

tomstud12

Hello

So the front of my car is making a loud noise when going above 60km and when going faster it gets louder. Also only the right front side tire is worn out on the inside.

What could this be? Would it be a worn out wheel bearing on the right side making the noise and wearing the tire faster??

Any help will appreciate it

Thanks

Wheel bearing or the tracking is off

Jack up that wheel and see is there any excessive play in it. Hold the top and bottom of the wheel and see if there is any movement. There should be none. If there is, you have a problem.

If there is does that mean it's the wheel bearing?

There could be multiple problems here to be honest. The tyre would take some time to wear as badly as you describe.

This is a DIY forum, do you intent on doing any of the work yourself? If not I can move this thread to the main forum.

The noise has been there for a while my gf said she thought it was just the tires a bit flat so i wouldn't be surprised that the inside of the right tire is more worn then the others

Generally a tyre being more worn on one side indicates a problem with the suspension or other issues. Obviously running the tyres low on pressure is not good either. You should always check your tyre pressure when it cools in the winter, as the pressure will decrease with temperature.

Noisy wheel bearings tend to have no play

They can have no play but if the tyre is wearing badly on the inside, the wheel bearing could be very loose at this stage, if it is the wheel bearing.

Could it be the wheel alignment? Or would that have to be the both wheels being worn for the wheel alignment to be wrong?

Wheel alignment could be off but if just one tyre is wearing it could be a suspension part or ball joint on that side bent or worn. However the fact there is a noise too would suggest a wheel bearing tbh.

Here is a video you can kinda hear the noise if you turn up your volume fully

Here is a picture of the right tire and you can see the right side is kinda worn out

I could hear it towards the end of the second video.

Do you intend fixing the car yourself?
