When I am driving and I am turning slightly to the right this loud humming or grinding noise comes from my right front tire. When I am on the highway at a higher speed it sounds even louder and worse. Lately now when I am turning to the left I hear just a slight humming noise from the left front wheel area. I have just bought new all season tires thinking maybe that would help but it didn't. Do you have advice?

You don't mention the make, model or year. I would guess that it is a front wheel drive vehicle that has a cv joint problem or bearing going bad. Good luck and let us know.

They are usually all 1 unit and very widely from vehicle to vehicle. $75 to $150 from what I've dealt with.

Suggested Repair

Have the front wheel bearings and CV joints inspected. A failing bearing or CV joint can cause humming or grinding that gets louder with speed and changes when turning. Bearing hub units are often sold as one piece and commonly cost about $75 to $150, though prices vary by vehicle.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 2000 Hyundai Tiburon SE with about 65,500 km reported loud humming or grinding from the right front wheel when turning slightly right, worse at highway speed, and a slight hum from the left front when turning left. New tires did not help. The expert said a front-wheel-drive car with those symptoms may have a failing CV joint or wheel bearing and estimated bearing units at about $75 to $150.
