Auto. Trans. Shifts smooth, engine r.P.M. At 40 m.P.H. Is low at about 1400 r.P.M, temp. Guage is showing normal, no engine loss of power. Just had tires rotated and re-balanced, tires have about 80% rubber, no-frontend shaking, no-brake pedal throbbing when applied.
After I get pass 40 m.P.H. I hear this howling noise sound, it doesn't get any lower even if I go 70 m.P.H, it almost sounds like a snow tire howling sound on a hard pavement. And if your seating in the drivers seat, it sounds like its coming from the left front. But if your seating in the front passengers seat it sounds like the howling noise is coming from the right front. What do you think is causing the howling noise? It is driving be nuts. Because I drive almost 2,500 miles a month. -- Joe

If its a whine on the rt front of the car, most likely the timing belt. That can be heard by opening the hood, and revving the engine, if thats not it, try getting a front end alignment, and tire balance. That should take care of it.
