When in motion my car makes this noise.

After about 2 weeks the car started shaking at freeway speeds. I took it to a mechanic that swore it was the struts. It has 2 new front struts which it did need but the problem is still there.
bad bearings, just about guarantee it. Could ba a tire out of balance, but I doubt it.
Thanks. I checked for the part online and found them for $17. I'll let you know what happens.
Your YouTube video was essentially blank and soundless.Quote:

The vid is blank, but you can hear him drive. At one point he even opens the door while driving, presumably to hear the noise better. Its night time, hes doing about 45, and there are almost no other cars around. But the last parts I'm less sure about. :)
Thanks gothstone it was the right bearing. It drives like a dream. Found a wheel bearing pictorial and walk through on the forum as well.
Usually when you have a bad bearing there is some sort of "howl" coming from somewhere... doing hard left and right turns can help pinpoint which one. I recently had my 2005's front bearings replaced with 130k miles because of noise. I had replaced the rear drum/bearings about 1.5 years ago and figured there was no way it could be the rears...... as it turned out one of the rears went out again... luckily within 2 year warranty period. It's all quiet now and with new F&R bearings now I should be hopefully good for another 100k. :D
