Lately the car has had a noise, that I wouldnt describe as a humming(like wheel bearing), moreso kindof a grinding. I dont know, that sounded stupid but ive never heard an actual wheel bearing sound like this. Both wheels have zero play, is it possible to have bearing issues with no play in the wheels? up/down/side to side, none.
Im inclined to blame the carrier bearing on the pass. axle as the culprit, but the noise seems to come from right behind the pedals while driving(transmission, I start to think). Push in the clutch and coast at 60mph, doesnt go away, doesnt change tone, keeps groaning. Im hoping this is a familiar sympton with somebody and what did it end up being. Im really hoping carrier bearing and not bearings in the differential, how do i eliminate one or the other?
