I have this grinding and vibration coming from what seems the Passenger side front tire or engine area. I comes at speeds above 40 mph and cruiseing(not on accel or deceleration). I can shift to Neutral when it sounds and it disappears, I can turn engine off and it disappears, if I weave from left and right-no change in sound. I can accelerate disappears. Take foot off gas pedal disappears.I know the brake pads and rotors are good. And rechecked twice with a torque wrench the torque on the wheel lug bolts. What is it?"

Sorry, not that. I can duplicate it at around 40 mph and around 1000 to 1500 RPM. Seem to come from Inside the Trans.
Thanks, maybe next time

Noises can be very difficult to send through cyberspace.
