Hi all,

I have a 2000 Hyundai Tiburon 65,ooo km

I feel there is a lack of power - and there is that 'noise' when you know your car is struggling for more power...like going uphill...or exactly the way it is when you drive it on a cold winter morning without warming it up first...almost seems like it's coming from the engine but it's hard to determine when driving...there is no other kind of clanking/ticking noise...i was told that it is the drivers side wheel bearing...could this be right ?

A wheel bearing noise will be constant with speed. Does the noise increase with engine rpm in neutral?
