3800 I think I have car issues

[MIKES3]

I was driving on my way to work this morning. And I dont have the radio on as of yet, but I hear something funny. Every time I accelerate or better yet when im over 20 MPH I hear this humming noise. I also started to feel something in my gas pedal along with the steering wheel. It almost sounds like a cesna air plane cruising in the sky. You know the small humming of there engine, but the weid thing is is gets quiter when I slow down. It follows the rythem of the wheels. I know it isnt the frequency through the radio either. Not that humming sounds kinda like that to but its a little deeper. The steering wheel and the gas pedal alomst feel like I'm going with the road along with the tires. I am throwing noi codes. I dont think I need new tires that bad. One has about 8-10k miles on it and the rest have about 50k. What do you guys think? It just doenst feel or sound right.

My buddys mustang does this, it is just the harmonics of the engine.

Sounds like a wheel bearing.

I was thinking that as well but I am still not sure at all

 

[MIKES3]

This might be a dumb question, but how can I know for sure?

jack up the car and if the tire moves side to side, that is an indication the wheel bearing is bad. you didn't run into anything did you??? haha

I got an extended warranty on her. And I know they cant blame that on my mods. What do you think would be better? Buying it myself and putting it on, or pay the $100 deductable and and it to a person I know at a place that would honor the warranty?

I think they are 150ish if you were to buy it yourself...

Oh yeah and Mike I got your call Sat night but I was on a boat downtown and didnt hear it, and I also lost my phone at SixFlags sunday which sucks!

 

[zeez gtp]
