Rushing Sounds
Ok, guys and gals check this out, I have this noise which has gotten loader within the last week. It sounds like it's coming from the suspension or wheel, passengers side, it's a rushing or whooshing noise, almost like a grinding noise but not.
They sound is there with the movement of the car, not the revs of the engine or the use of the clutch. It's only there when the car rolls.
The faster I drive the louder it gets, if I'm driving about 55 and I turn the wheel a little to the left it starts to go away, if I turn a little to right it start to gets louder.
Someone told me it's out of alignment but I had an alignment done about 3 weeks ago, before the noise started.
I did just add an upper strut bar, could this have knocked my alignment out? I am also sporting 17" Tantrums w/ Kuhmo lows. (if that helps)
I hope it's the alignment and not the bearings!

It was wierd, I had a bad bearing in my Mirage and wheel shook bad when driving and wanted to pull to the right.
The Tibby drove like normal no vibration or pulling, just that damn rushing noise.
I was lazy and didn't want run out in the cold to check it out, but I'm glad I did.
One more question, are those bearing pressed on?
